Book Description
Seeking fortune & adventure, two young German Canadians, Art and Ernie Barz, were down to their last dollars when they reached Dawson City in 1937. A year later, aided by some of Yukon's leading citizens, the Barz brothers chartered four plane-loads of huskies, equipment, and supplies to the Territory's remote Bonnet Plume region. Seeking to avoid the expensive non-resident trapper's licence fees, the brothers convinced the authorities that they were miners. Instead, they set up one of the largest clandestine fur-trapping operation in the Canadian north. In time, they became legal trappers and ran Chappie's Trading Post near the confluence of the Bonnet Plume and Peel Rivers. During their five years in Yukon, they met some of the Territory's larger-than-life characters, and explored its vast, pristine wilderness. Yukon Wanderlust weaves the Barz brothers' stories, their photographs, and related historical events into a fascinating chronicle of a vibrant, yet overlooked period of Yukon history.

Book Description
Once on the margins of European empires, notably those of France, England and Spain, then a focus of international rivalries and wars during the 18th century, Canada is now a nation that is front and center in the world's affairs. Canada's emergence as a modern industrial nation and a key player in the resource, commodities, and financial institutions that make up today's world shows many aspects of what ex-colonial powers have gone through_except that compromise and reform rather than revolution and revolt have been the cardinal historical features. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Canada greatly expands on the first edition through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions, as well as on significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects. This book is an essential guide to the history of Canada.
