Finally, a fresh and progressive textbook to revive your Canadian History class! Canadian Sources: Investigated is an indispensable resource of Canadian primary and secondary sources spanning the historical period 1914 to the present. Using a range of representational and visually rich source material, students can immerse themselves in the history and events of the time while gaining important experience in interpreting and evaluating historical evidence.
