In the nineteenth century, as today, individual governors general exercised considerable scope in interpreting their approach to the office. The era from 1847 to 1878 witnessed profound changes in Canada's relationship with Britain, and in this new book Barbara J. Messamore explores the nature of these changes through an examination of the role of the governor general."--Jacket. 606 $aGovernors general$zCanada$vBiography 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government$y1841-1867 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government$y1867-1914 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGovernors general 676 $a971.04/0922 700 $aMessamore$b Barbara Jane$f1959-$01646279 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826463203321 996 $aCanada's governors general, 1847-1878$93993180 997 $aUNINA
