"Sir George Etienne Cartier: His Work for Canada and His Services to Montreal" by John Boyd is a historical account presented as an address delivered in the early 20th century, specifically in 1913, to commemorate the contributions of Sir George Etienne Cartier, a key figure in Canadian history. This book focuses on Cartier's pivotal role in the Confederation of Canada and his substantial contributions to the development of Montreal, highlighting his influence and legacy during a transformative period in the country's history. In this address, Boyd outlines Cartier's public career from his beginnings as a reformer to his significant leadership role in the Confederation movement. The address emphasizes how Cartier championed railway construction, legal reforms, and economic development, which helped shape modern Canada. Highlighting Cartier's dedication to both French-Canadian rights and the broader Canadian identity, Boyd portrays him as a unifying figure who promoted national interests above sectional divisions. The address not only recounts Cartier's achievements but also urges the recognition of his contributions to the nation, framing him as a quintessential builder of Canada.
