A Nightmare Removed: Reform and Resignation, 191616. Eclipse; Bibliography; IndexThis book is based on the public career of a highly controversial Canadian, Sam Hughes 1885?1916. He is one of the most colourful, even bizarre, figures in Canadian history. Though he died in 1921, his name can still conjure up controversy and not a little misunderstanding. His long career?in so many respects the quintessential story of a poor backwoods Ontario farm boy who made good by his own efforts?continues to exert a fascination that few other Canadian political figures could duplicate.
