Canada: MacMillan Co.;, 1967. Book. Illus. by David Craig Art. Good to Very Good.. Cloth. FIRST Edition Hardcover.. (MacMillan of Canada, 1967; First Edition Hardcover; David Craig art on Dust Jacket & Interior illustrations; Great Stories of Canada Series; 132 pages; Wikipedia = Thomas D'Arcy Etienne Hughes McGee, (13 April 1825 7 April 1868) was a Canadian of Irish descent, known for being a politician, a Catholic spokesman, a journalist, a poet, and as a Father of Canadian Confederation. The young McGee was a Catholic Irishman who hated the British oppression of Ireland, and work for a peasant revolution to overthrow British rule and secure Irish independence. He escaped arrest and fled to the United States in 1848, where he reversed his political beliefs. He became disgusted with American republicanism and democracy, and became intensely conservative in his politics and in his religious support for the Pope. He moved to Canada in 1857 and worked hard to convince the Irish Catholics to cooperate with the Protestant British in forming a Confederation that would make for a strong Canada in close alliance with Britain. His fervor for Confederation garnered him the title: 'Canada's first nationalist'. He fought the Fenians in Canada, who were Irish Catholics who hated the British and resembled his younger self politically. McGee succeeded in helping create the Canadian Confederation in 1867, but was assassinated by Fenian Elements in 1868. >>> EX-LIBRARY Copy, with usual Markings; Book = G/VG; Dust Jacket = VG/FN; Price = US$35.00) Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
