Chosen for their unique skills, 400 English- and French-speaking Canadian voyageurs transported imperial forces up the Nile in a daring attempt to rescue "Chinese" Gordon, besieged in Khartoum. A generation later, their imperial work was completed by another Canadian, Sir Percy Girouard, who built the desert railway which enabled Kitchener to capture Khartoum in 1898. Offering fresh insights to the general reader as well as to historians and students, this authoritative work is also a perceptive, exciting, and humorous account of a curious way station along the meandering road to Canadian nationhood. 606 $aCanadians$zSudan$xHistory 607 $aSudan$xHistory$y1881-1899 615 0$aCanadians$xHistory. 676 $a962.4/03 700 $aMacLaren$b Roy$01503006 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780544703321 996 $aCanadians on the Nile, 1882-1898$93731109 997 $aUNINA
