Ocean to Ocean

＂Ocean to Ocean＂ recounts the journey of Reverend George Monro Grant across Canada in 1872 as part of the Sandford Fleming expedition to survey the proposed route of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Grant’s engaging narrative captures the vastness and diversity of the Canadian landscape, from the forests of the east to the prairies of the west and the mountains of British Columbia. More than just a travelogue, the book offers insights into the social, economic, and political conditions of the country at a pivotal moment in its history. Grant’s observations on Indigenous peoples, settlers, and the challenges of nation-building provide a valuable historical perspective.

This edition preserves the original text, allowing readers to experience Grant’s adventure firsthand and to appreciate the historical context of Canada’s development. ＂Ocean to Ocean＂ remains a significant contribution to Canadian literature and a testament to the spirit of exploration and discovery.
