The book was written to Berton's normal standards, however I was expecting more of the nuts and bolts of physically building the road - more construction talk, more engineering talk, more talk about the men who lived and died building it. Bound in original green simulated leather. Pictorial endpapers. Subject; Canadian Pacific Railway Company.

The Last Spike reconstructs the incredible story of how some 2,000 miles of steel crossed the continent in just five years — exactly half the time stipulated in the contract. The stories about how cities like Winnipeg, Regina and (one of my hometowns), Revelstoke were settled were fascinating. Recreates the adventures that were part of this vast undertaking: the railway on the brink of bankruptcy, with one hour between it and ruin; the extraordinary land boom of Winnipeg in 1881.
