Got History? Nat Geo does.

In celebration of Canada's 150th anniversary, National Geographic Books in partnership with Parks Canada, put together this latest guide book on the nation's historic sites. I was happy to be asked to contribute a couple of chapters--the Prairie Provinces and the Rockies. It's a helpful companion if you're planning on exploring the country's national historic sites, or even just for learning about Canada's history. Happy reading!
