History without the stiffness and polish time creates.
Canadaâs journey to Confederation kicked off with a bang â or rather, a circus, a civil war (the American one), a small fortuneâs worth of champagne, and a lot of making love â in the old-fashioned sense. Miss Confederation offers a rare look back, through a womanâs eyes, at the men and events at the centre of this pivotal time in Canadaâs history.
Mercy Anne Coles, the daughter of PEI delegate George Coles, kept a diary of the social happenings and political manoeuvrings as they affected her and her desires. A unique historical document, her diary is now being published for the first time, offering a window into the events that led to Canadaâs creation, from a point of view that has long been neglected. - Ingram Publishing Services
Amidst the grand and heady spectacle of the balls, banquets, and events of the Confederation Conferences of October 1864, Mercy Coles was seeking adventure and love. She wasnât concerned with writing for posterity, or with propriety. Miss Confederation shows history being made, without the stiffness and polish time creates. - Univ of Toronto Pr
