Every Trail Has a Story
Heritage Travel in Canada
Bob Henderson
100: b&w archival and contemporary photographs and maps
This book travels to a range of heritage sites across Canada, explores the cultural heritage and practices from indigenous peoples to early explorers and entrepreneurs, and features key Canadians who have contributed to Canada's unique culture. The approach combines the experiential and the documented. The intent is to heighten awareness of and reverence for those who have gone before and the cultural practices that still inform the traveller of today.
Subjects: History, Sociology/Cultural Studies
