How the west was
won...and other tales of the CPR
We all
know that CPR built Canada's first transcontinental railway, linking East
and West. But lesser known are the stories about the people behind the
building of the Canadian Pacific Railway, their discoveries and
accomplishments -- stories of the Scottish clan that set up the company, the
Americans they hired to build it, the discovery of a pass through the
mountains, the discovery of hot springs, the setting up of Canada's first
national park and the discovery and first use of natural gas as a heating
fuel.
