His books are so omnipresent and wide-ranging that one would be forgiven for thinking that the prolific Pierre Berton was the sole chronicler of Canada's history. Berton found his ideal subject in one of the greatest dramas of the developing nation: the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It took him two books, The National Dream and The Last Spike, to tell a tale full of the sorts of ruthless tycoons, nail-biting adventures, and human tragedies on which Berton's matchless storytelling skills thrive.
