Autorenporträt

Canadian historian George Bryce (1844-1931) also wrote and taught history. Bryce, who was born in Scotland, immigrated to Canada when he was a little kid. He ultimately made Manitoba his home, where he rose to prominence in the province's educational system. He played a key role in the founding of various institutions and schools in Manitoba and directed Manitoba College for a long time. Bryce was a passionate historian who published extensively on Canadian history, especially that of the western provinces. The Remarkable History of the Hudson's Bay Company, his most well-known book, is still recognized as a key reference on the company's significance in Canadian history. Bryce participated in politics as well and was a member of the Liberal Party when he was chosen to serve in the Manitoba legislature in 1896. Before quitting politics in 1900, he held a number of government roles, including Minister of Education and Minister of Public Works. Up until his death in 1931, Bryce continued to publish and give talks on Canadian history. He is regarded as a leading historian and educator in Canada.
