Volume III of the Canadian Centenary Series Now available as e-books for the first time, the Canadian Centenary Series is a comprehensive nineteen-volume history of the peoples and lands which form Canada. Although the series is designed as a unified whole so that no part of the story is left untold, each volume is complete in itself. The thirty-eight years from 1663 when the French Crown assumed control of New France to 1701 when Louis xiv determined to seize the whole interior of North America are among the most colourful and exciting in Canadian history. It was a period which saw a dramatic growth in the colony from a sprinkling of settlements along the St. Lawrence River to an empire stretching far into the interior of the continent, from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. With the strong backing of the King’s Minister, Jean Baptiste Colbert, considerable military and economic aid was channelled to New France and administrators provided who were to leave their lasting mark on the colony--Denonville, Talon, Champigny, and many others. Although many of Colbert’s policies were doomed to failure, it was his watchful care that assured the amazing growth of New France. Out of this unleashing of human energy and out of the strife and suffering it engendered was to emerge a new nation and a distinct Canadian identity. First published in 1964, W.J. Eccles’s important contribution to the Canadian Centenary Series is available here in e-book format for the first time.

Volume IV of the Canadian Centenary Series Now available as e-books for the first time, the Canadian Centenary Series is a comprehensive nineteen-volume history of the peoples and lands which form Canada. Although the series is designed as a unified whole so that no part of the story is left untold, each volume is complete in itself. Bracketed by wars between the empires of France and Britain, the history of the by now well-developed colonies of New France covered by New France, 1701-1744: A Supplement to Europe witnessed a “golden age” of peace and unprecedented economic growth. Comprising the area colonized by France in North America between 1534 and 1763, at its peak in 1712, the territory of New France extended from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains and from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico and covered an area of some 8 million square kilometres. Describing the political, social, and economic events surrounding the shift in importance from fur traders and adventurers to farmers, craftsmen, and fishermen, Dale Miquelon demonstrates that the texture of everyday life in Île-Royale (present day Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia) and the settlements of the St. Lawrence River was greatly influenced by the dictates of French foreign policy and the vagaries of the economic boom and bust cycles that affected the entire empire. First published in 1987, Dale Miquelon’s important contribution to the Canadian Centenary Series is available here as an e-book for the first time.

Volume II of the Canadian Centenary Series Now available as e-books for the first time, the Canadian Centenary Series is a comprehensive nineteen-volume history of the peoples and lands which form Canada. Although the series is designed as a unified whole so that no part of the story is left untold, each volume is complete in itself. French explorers first came to North America in 1524, but it was not until Cartier’s discovery of the St. Lawrence River in 1535 that any attempts at exploration and settlement inland became possible. Even with that, Roberval found it necessary to abandon his attempt at colonization in 1543, and a veil of mystery fell once more over the great river of Canada. Subsequent expeditions were beset by difficulties and defeats arising from the climate, the hostility of the natives, and political and economic conditions in Europe. Finally, early in the next century, French official policy again turned to New France, and a new era of colonization and exploration began. Marcel Trudel has produced an expert and distinguished work, recounting the first years of French exploration and colonization in the New World, a record filled with setbacks, hardships, and frustrations, but also with successes. Throughout his long academic career, the author has devoted himself to research and writing on the history of New France from its beginnings to the 1760s. In this volume, he has been able to call upon all his past work to produce a lucid and exciting account of the earliest journeys in the sixteenth century and the complete history of exploration, settlement, and commerce during the first part of the seventeenth century. Particular attention is given to the relationship between the events in the New World and in Europe, and also to the role of the First Nations peoples who, with their vitally important trade networks, were so closely involved in the history of New France. First published in 1973, Professor Trudel’s important contribution to the Canadian Centenary Series is available here as an e-book for the first time.

Much of the period 1661-1815 appeared to be the age of France. France was the greatest power in Western Europe in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and Louis XIV and Napoleon seemed to dominate their periods. yet when Louis XIV died in 1715, and again after Napoleon's attempt to resume power was defeated at Waterloo a century later, France appeared as a waning power. This failure in Europe was matched on the world scale. France was overtaken by Britain in the struggle for maritime predominance, and ended the period with her empire in ruins. From Louis XIV to Napoleon is a scholarly yet accessible account which considers why France was not more successful and throws light on French history, international relations, warfare and the rise and fall of French power.

The personal rule of Louis XIV, following on from a long period of royal minority and apprenticeship, lasted 54 years from 1661 to 1715. But the second half of this personal rule has, until recently, received significantly less scholarly attention than the 1660s and 1670s. This has obscured some of the very real changes and developments that occurred between the early 1680s and the mid-1690s, by which time a new generation of younger royals had come to prominence, France was engulfed in international war on a greater scale than ever before, and the king was visibly no longer as vigorous or healthy as he had once been. The essays in this volume take a close look at the way a new set of political, social, cultural and economic dispensations emerged from the mid-1680s to create a different France in the final decades of Louis XIV’s reign, even though the basic ideological, social and economic underpinnings of the country remained very largely the same. The contributions examine such varied matters as the structure and practices of government, naval power, the financial operations of the state, trade and commerce, social pressures, overseas expansion, religious dissent, music, literature and the fine arts.

Commended for the 2011 Keith Matthews Award From its creation in 1910, the Royal Canadian Navy was marked by political debate over the countrys need for a naval service. The Seabound Coast, Volume I of a three-volume official history of the RCN, traces the story of the navys first three decades, from its beginnings as Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Lauriers tinpot navy of two obsolescent British cruisers to the force of six modern destroyers and four minesweepers with which it began the Second World War. The previously published Volume II of this history, Part 1, No Higher Purpose, and Part 2, A Blue Water Navy, has already told the story of the RCN during the 19391945 conflict. Based on extensive archival research, The Seabound Coast recounts the acrimonious debates that eventually led to the RCNs establishment in 1910, its tenuous existence following the Laurier governments sudden replacement by that of Robert Borden one year later, and the navys struggles during the First World War when it was forced to defend Canadian waters with only a handful of resources. From the effects of the devastating Halifax explosion in December 1917 to the U-boat campaign off Canadas East Coast in 1918, the volume examines how the RCNs task was made more difficult by the often inconsistent advice Ottawa received from the British Admiralty in London. In its final section, this important and well-illustrated history relates the RCNs experience during the interwar years when anti-war sentiment and an economic depression threatened the services very survival.

Volume XVII of the Canadian Centenary Series Now available as e-books for the first time, the Canadian Centenary Series is a comprehensive nineteen-volume history of the peoples and lands which form Canada. Although the series is designed as a unified whole so that no part of the story is left untold, each volume is complete in itself. In the concluding volume of his study of the evolution of the Canadian North since Confederation in 1867, Morris Zaslow details with encyclopedic scope the accelerating change typical of the second half of that era. In this period the frontiers of agriculture and industry swept northward from near the international border to their economic limits. In the search for oil and natural gas, these limits were also close to the country’s physical limits. Assisted by new roads, extended railways, improved river transportation, and the new airplane, settlers, prospectors, and developers cleared land, sought mineral treasures, opened enterprises, and established permanent settlements in areas formerly used for hunting and trapping by Native peoples. At the same time, the institutions of society and government familiar to southern Canadians followed at a more measured pace. Although this northward expansion was temporarily curbed by the Great Depression and wartime, the Second World War brought a new kind of northern development. The exploring expedition during the early-20th century aside, Canadian sensibilities and sovereignty in the Far North were more upset by the presence of United States forces engaged in joint defence projects during the war and in high-technology surveillance in the tense years of the Cold War. All of these activities reduced the possibility for Native peoples to continue to follow their old ways, already compromised by wildlife exploitation and environmental degradation. In the face of challenges from white hunters and resource developers, Native peoples in Canada’s North suffered from ineffectual efforts or benign neglect by government. Unprepared for the social and economic revolution of the 1950s and 1960s, they were overwhelmed by the rush of events. Professor Zaslow follows their problems sympathetically and examines the efforts of recent governments to help them adapt to the new conditions. First published in 1988, Professor Zaslow’s important contribution to the Canadian Centenary Series is available here as an e-book for the first time.
