Steamboat Connections: Montreal to Upper Canada, 1816-1843

.Mackey introduces the entrepreneurs who forged this important link between Montreal and the nation’s interior and chronicles the course of their industry, correcting previous misinterpretations. He sheds light not only on steamboats but also on the social, commercial, and geographical development that they made possible. He shows that the history of this country, a land with vast expanses and a harsh climate, cannot be fully appreciated without looking at the different modes of transportation that made it possible.Additional ISBNs9780773525832Steamboat Connections: Montreal to Upper Canada, 1816-1843 is written by Frank Mackey and published by McGill-Queen’s University Press.
