Pierre Berton(1920-2004)

This man had a passion for Canada and Canadians. He published over 50 books on these subjects. "The National Dream", "The Last Spike", and "Klondike Days" were three of his most popular books.

"On an already big news day Tuesday he managed to provide a front page challenge to George Bush, if not knocking the visiting U.S. president out of the headlines, at least elbowing him aside. The CBC National also hastily shuffled its Tuesday night lineup, giving Berton's death a good 15 minutes of lead airtime before getting to Bush coverage from Ottawa."
