Egerton Ryerson: The Makers of Canada is a historical biography written by Nathanael Burwash and published in 1906. The book tells the story of Egerton Ryerson, a prominent figure in Canadian history who played a significant role in the development of education and religion in the country. Ryerson was born in 1803 in Ontario and grew up in a family of Methodist ministers. He went on to become a prominent educator, serving as the first superintendent of education in Upper Canada and later founding the Ontario Normal School, which trained teachers for the province's schools. In addition to his work in education, Ryerson was also deeply involved in religious affairs, serving as a Methodist minister and playing a key role in the establishment of the United Church of Canada. He was a strong advocate for religious freedom and played a significant role in the development of Canadian religious culture. The book provides a detailed account of Ryerson's life and career, including his struggles and successes, as well as his impact on Canadian society. It offers a glimpse into the history of education and religion in Canada and sheds light on the important role that individuals like Ryerson played in shaping the country's development.
