Toil and Trouble

The Honourable George F.G. Stanley, O.C., Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick, has had a long and distinguished career. He taught at a number of Canadian universities, retiring in 1975 to devote his time to writing and to serving with various public and charitable organizations. Dr. Stanley is now Honorary Colonel of the Royal New Brunswick Regiment. Author of many books on Canadian history, Dr. Stanley has received numerous honours, including Officer of the Order of Canada.

"The book is profusely illustrated with clear and well-defined maps, always important but sadly neglected in many military histories. This is an important history because it goes beyond a 'drum and trumpet' approach and concentrates on the triumph of individuals over geographic obstacles in the age of Canadian expansionism."
