About This Item
Viking, 2001. Hardcover. Very Good/As New. Hard Cover, With Dust Jacket, As New Condition. In 1782, At A Time When Few People Ventured More Than A Few Miles From Their Home Village, Eighteen-Year-Old John Molson Struck Out Across The Atlantic. Abandoning The Lincolnshire Lands That Had Been His Family's Livelihood For Generations, This Privateer's Nephew Risked A Wartime Crossing In The Midst Of The American Revolution To Reach Montreal, Where He Established A Log-House Brewery On What Was Then The Fringe Of Civilization. From This Humble Beginning, Through A Combination Of Hard Work, Ruthlessness And A Raw Entrepreneurial Talent, Molson Built A Dynasty That Would Last Into The New Millennium And Would, At Its Height, Include Not Only A Brewery But Also A Bank, Real Estate, Hotels, A Pioneering Steamboat Line And An Interest In Railways. From Marauding Pirates To Scandalized Lovers, From The Blood Feuds Of Revolutionary America To The First Tentative Attempts To Explore And Exploit The Resources Of Canada Beyond John Molson's Adopted City, Molson Is A Lively Portrait Of The Life And Times Of A Great Canadian Entrepreneur And The Offspring Who Succeeded Him. It's A Tantalizing Mix Of Biography, History And Adventure Story That Combines Impeccable Research With Great Storytelling, And Uncovers Some Surprising New Truths About The Life And Times Of John Molson And His Family.
