BERTON, PIERRE.

The Invasion Of Canada, Volume 0ne: 1812-1813, Flames Across The Border: The Canadian American Tragedy, 1813-1814.

Atlantic Monthly Press, New York: 1980. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition. In this two volume set, Berton captures the reader's interest by telling the story from the point of view of its players-dozens of soldiers, commanders, politicians, and civilians who took part in the planning, battles, and diplomacy of the war are heard from in their own words. Berton's character descriptions are excellent, and his ability to place the reader in the midst of battle is incomparable. Includes an Index.

The Klondike Quest: A Photgraphic Essay 1897-1899.

Little, Brown and Company, Boston: 1983. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition but the dustjacket has some tears and soiling. The Klondike gold rush was perhaps the most photographed event in North America during the nineteenth century. More than ten thousand pictures are available in public archives and private collections, depicting every aspect of what Pierre Berton has called one of the strangest mass movements in history. For this book, Berton has selected some two hundred photographs, most of them unfamiliar, many never before published. Here, for the first time, is the panoramic drama of the great stampede seen from the point of view of the ordinary gold seeker. A new text, written from a new point of view than Berton's earlier, classic work, The Klondike Fever, together with extended captions, accompanies the photographs.

1967

Doubleday Canada, 1997. Hardcover. Very Good. clean, tight, unmarked, Dust Jacket() Few Canadians over the age of forty can forget the feeling of joy and celebration that washed over the country during Canada's centennial year. We were, Pierre Berton reminds us, a nation in love with itself, basking in the warm glow of international applause brought on by the unexpected success of Expo 67 and pumped up by the year-long birthday party that had us all warbling Ca-na-da, as Bobby Gimby and his gaggle of small children pranced down the byways of the nation. It was a turning-point year, a watershed year--a year of beginnings as well as endings. One royal commission finally came to a close with a warning about the need for a new approach to Quebec. Another was launched to investigate, for the first time, the status of Canadian women. New attitudes to divorce and homosexuality were enshrined in law. A charismatic figure, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, made clear that the state had no place in the bedrooms of the nation. The seeds of Women' ID: mon0000096942 .
