Description: The last history of Confederation was R.G. Trotter's Canadian Federation, published in 1924. Since that time, much work has been done on this seminal period of Canadian history. This present book begins roughly where Professor Whitelaw's ended. It is a study of ideas and politics in the province of Canada, 1864-1867.
