1996rif. 713h5459Vancouver Canada: UBC Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. 0774805323 . "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 1500-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.
