How Canada came to Be

by Anna J. Steen

Overview

A clear, straight forward, unbiased telling of a great story.   Canada begins in Newfoundland, and that's the start of this historical, narrative journey. The author traces the contributions of Marco Polo, even the capture of Constantinople in 1453 when people began to look for a new sea route to the East, paving the inspiration for explorers like John Cabot, Champlain, Cartier and others to lay the foundations of Canada.
