Sir John A. Macdonald

One man-One Nation

by Charles Robertson

The story of Canada's first prime minister

From boy to man to myth

A fast-paced journey toward nation-building

A young John A. makes a name for himself as a lawyer championing impossible causes
He rises to dizzying political heights
Then Domestic tragedy at home.
And Scandal rocks his government

Sample

When something is wrong with the house, they summon the architect
Once again, the old soldier picks up his sword
Once more he dresses in the colours of the clan,
raising his shield to them
he yells the old war cry!
He is slower, weaker
He doesn't think so well
Yet the sound of sword against sword stirs his blood
Before giving doubt a second chance, he is in action once again
I have paid a terrible price for my aspirations
I may yet buy peace, but at what price?
Would it cost me my life?
Its almost as if I can hear the bagpipes now
I think I can see the foe
Yes I can!
Away wi' ye!

Sir John A. Macdonald
