narrator, Douglas Rain

Two passages from an important piece of historical writing by one of Canada's leading authors. Hutchison, who has written of contemporary Canada in his biography of W.L. Mackenzie King ("The Incredible Canadian") and in "Canada, Tomorrow's Giant", here tells the story of the division of the North American continent between Canada and the United States. The first passage read states the question which the book answers: how did two such separate nations emerge from the same mother-country, England? The second passage describes the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, which set the ultimate pattern of the Canadian nation and opened the way for the American Revolution. <29mn 25s>
