(Agnes Christina) Canada: the Empire of the North Being the Romantic Story of the New Dominion's Growth from Colony to Kingdom E-text prepared by Al Haines "Canada: the Empire of the North" by Agnes C. Laut is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book narrates the rich and dramatic history of Canada's development from a European colony to an independent kingdom, rich in adventure and heroism.

The opening of the book details the legendary early exploration of Canada, beginning with the Viking voyages led by Leif Erikson around the year 1000. Laut vividly paints the picture of these Norse adventurers encountering the New World, as well as later expeditions by figures like John Cabot and Jacques Cartier. She emphasizes the rugged nature of the land and the interactions between explorers and Indigenous peoples, setting the stage for Canada's rich tapestry of cultures and events that led to its emergence as a nation. This historical groundwork highlights the early hopes, challenges, and ambitions that characterized the birth of Canada as we know it today.
