"The GTP ran from Winnipeg via Edmonton and the Yellowhead Pass to Prince Rupert and was built to challenge the primacy of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The 1,500-km British Columbia line, built at great cost over some of the country's most rugged terrain, was completed in 1914, but traffic fell far short of company expectations and this contributed to the collapse of the GTP in 1919. This failure is examined here, with focus on the problems of the BC line. Leonard argues that 'a thousand blunders' by company managers were primarily responsible for one of the greatest failures in Canadian entrepreneurial history. Richly detailed and thoroughly documented, this study makes an important contribution to the fields of railway and business history, as well as to the study of the history of northern British Columbia." - half-title.

4to., First Edition, with coloured frontispiece, fine photographic plates lightly toned in sepia , numerous illustrations in the text and large folding map in pocket at end; original red boards, upper board lettered in gilt, black cloth back lettered in gilt, upper board faded at edges, joints lightly rubbed else a very good, bright, clean copy. Bright copy of the first impression of the second of GWR's three great themed travel guides of the mid-1920s (the others being JBeer's Cathedrals and Oman's Castles). Although greatly popular and many times reissued, copies of the original editions in this condition are actually quite elusive. Following the success of Beer's 'Cathedrals' in the previous year, M R James was commissioned to take a break from both palaeography and ghost stories to write the present, even larger, work. Unlike its predecessor, this volume was issued only in hardback, and a second impression was needed within six months. The series concluded with Oman's 'Castles' in the following year. See Wilson, p.93.
