Product Information

In The Company, his bestselling work of revisionist history, Stephen Bown told the dramatic, adventurous and bloody tale of Canada's origins in the fur trade. With Dominion he continues the nation's creation story with an equally gripping and eye-opening account of the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Reviews
" Dominion is enlivened by vivid portraits of characters like Judge Matthew Baillie Begbie, Jerry Potts, Crowfoot and Sir William Van Horne, and it raises the kind of questions that we should all be asking today.

Bown gives us a clear picture of the winners and losers in one particularly consequential episode." -- Literary Review of Canada, NATIONAL BESTSELLER A GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR " Dominion is enlivened by vivid portraits of characters like Judge Matthew Baillie Begbie, Jerry Potts, Crowfoot and Sir William Van Horne, and it raises the kind of questions that we should all be asking today.
