George M. Wrong Books

George MacKinnon Wrong was a Canadian clergyman and historian who believed in the moral duty of the historian to interpret the past for society's present needs. Wrong viewed Canadian history through the lens of the country's British and French origins, and the American presence. As a teacher, administrator, and a driving force in the early days of the Canadian Historical Association, he helped provide an intellectual foundation for a developing Canadian national identity. His work, often formal in style and with an Anglophile taste, influenced a generation of students and left a lasting legacy on Canadian historiography.
