It's one thing to live to the age of 84 and it's entirely another thing to have done it right. Pierre Burton personafied the word "Canadiana."

I remember buying his book, "Flames Across the Border," when I first moved to Kingston. At a second-year private's pay, I couldn't really afford a large hard-covered text like that, but being an amateur history buff, I bought it nonetheless.
I've just pulled it off the bookshelf and here is a comment from the back cover of the book.
"If history could be taught in the schools the way Berton writes about it, there wouldn't be a more popular subject on the curriculum"
The Globe and Mail
Amen!
