To Enhance The Travel Experience, The Company Also Constructed Great Castle-like Hotels, Including The Algonquin In St. Andrews, The Chateau Frontenac In Quebec City, And The Banff Springs Hotel In The Rockies, Which Themselves Became Landmarks. In This Sumptuously Illustrated History Of A Company Whose Story Is Integral To The Golden Age Of Travel, Barry Lane Recounts The History Of Canadian Pacific, From The Construction Of The Transcontinental Railway To The Development Of The Hotels And The Building Of The Shipping Line That Linked Canada To The Rest Of The World.
