Canadians Of Scottish Descent, Who Today Total Over 4.7 Million, Have Never Made Up More Than 16 Per Cent Of Canada's Population. Yet They Have Supplied Thirteen Of Twenty-two Canadian Prime Ministers, And Have Made Proportionate Contributions In Exploration, Education, Banking, Military Service, Railroading, Invention, Literature, You Name It. Award-winning Author Ken Mcgoogan Has Written A Vivid, Sweeping Narrative Showcasing More Than Sixty Scots Who Have Shaped Canada. They Include Fur Traders Alexander Mackenzie And The Scotch West-indian James Douglas, Who Established National Boundaries; Politicians John A. Macdonald And Nellie Mcclung, Who Created A System Of Government; And Visionaries Tommy Douglas, James Houston, Doris Anderson And Marshall Mcluhan, Who Turned Canada Into A Complex Nation That Celebrates Diversity. Mcgoogan Toasts Robbie Burns, Recalls The First Settlers To Wade Ashore At Pictou, Nova Scotia, And Celebrates Such Hybrid Figures As The Cherokee Scot John Norton And Cuthbert Grant, Father Of The Métis Nation. In How The Scots Invented Canada, Ken Mcgoogan Uncovers The Scottish History Of A Nation-building Miracle.
