$8.95
The Canadians is a series of illustrated biographies focussing on the men and women who shaped our history. Adam Beck born in Baden, Ontario, was a businessman, Mayor, and politician. He devoted himself wholeheartedly and tirelessly to the campaign for public power in the province. He was knighted for his efforts, but his stubbornness made him may enemies within the newly created Ontario Hydro Commission, of which he was chairman. Deeply involved in provincial politics, even in later life, Beck was unable to give up his political struggles, and when he died in 1925, he was still full of schemes for extending the uses of hydro power.
