Summary "George Brown" by John Lewis is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the life and political influence of George Brown, a key figure in Canadian history and one of the main advocates for responsible government in Canada during a crucial period leading up to the country's confederation. The opening of the work sets the stage for understanding Brown's early life, including his upbringing in Scotland and his eventual migration to Canada. It outlines his family's opposition to slavery and their belief in the importance of responsible governance. As a young man, Brown finds his footing in the political landscape of Canada, quickly establishing himself as a journalist and advocate for reform through his involvement in various publications. The narrative conveys the significant challenges and political transformations he faced as he embarked on a career dedicated to shaping Canada’s institutions, setting the foundation for his later achievements and controversies in the realm of Canadian politics.
