I think I made a find! I've been looking for 4 years for a decent Canadian History "Spine" book - and from the chapter I just read, I think I may have found one...
It is called the "Story of Canada" (as are probably 40% of Canadian History books) by Marsh... and it is free on Archive.org. It goes to about 1900...

I need to read more on it - but this has been something that has been so hard to find!

Don't know if you noticed, but there is an audio on librivox called "Chronicles of Canada" Vol. 1-14.
I take it you don't like the Knowledge Quest book, "O, Canada, Her Story"?
The thing with the Knowledge Quest book was... a) - I can't get it free or used.... and b) If I'm not mistaken, it has various stories from various times, but isn't telling the over-all story? The Knowledge Quest website doesn't have the book details at the moment, so maybe I'm thinking of a different book? It had a sample chapter about the school trains?
I hadn't checked out the "Chronicles of Canada" (at least recently) - but I do note that the first chapter of the first book is going on and on about the geological changes of millenia ago.... I also got the general vibe that it might be better for a bit older kids?
I checked out the link from Suzukimom and read the first chapter. Now I have another book I want to read...lol I thought it looked pretty interesting!
