"Canada; its Defences, Condition, and Resources" by William Howard Russell is a historical exploration that examines Canada's situation in the 1860s. It provides an in-depth look at Canada's geography and politics when there were worries about the United States and talks about uniting British North America. The book starts with the author talking about his own experience traveling to Canada, sharing his view of the political environment and the risk of the United States invading. Russell talks about his trip from New York to Canada, sharing how unfriendly people in the United States were to him during the Civil War. He talks about the condition of Canada's defenses, what the land is like, and what people on both sides of the border think. He sees this time as both worrisome and filled with opportunities for Canada to grow as a nation that is loyal to the British Crown, paving the way for a careful reflection on Canada's future opportunities and difficulties.
