Description

This lavishly illustrated book brings Gordon Lightfoot’s heart-stirring song to readers old and young. Commissioned by the CBC in 1967 to mark Canada’s centennial year it eloquently describes the development of the transcontinental railway — “an iron road runnin’ from the ocean to the ocean” — a super feat of nation building that modified Canada eternally. Award-winning illustrator Ian Wallace brings the song to visual life together with his sweeping landscapes and evocative portrayals of the individuals who lived the building of the railroad. The book includes Gordon Lightfoot’s music and lyrics, a short lived history of the railroad and notes at the illustrations.
