A remarkable cast of past and present young Canadians stride across the pages of Legends In Their Time, each having a significant role to play in Canadian history. Beginning in the 1500s and moving on into the 20th century, each chapter contributes insights into the evolution of Canada as a nation.

Author George Sherwood's thorough research and his scene setting bring to life the heroic accomplishments and tragic exploits that make Canada's story a fascinating and entertaining account.
