My guest today is renowned biographer & historian Charlotte Gray.  Charlotte is a master storyteller, who brings history to life in a way that makes it accessible to anybody. She's written about people like Alexander Graham Bell, Nellie McClung, and E. Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake). Her book on the Klondike called Gold Diggers is a pure page turner, on a cast of characters that includes the famous Mountie, Sam Steele. Today we're going to talk about where she got her start, her first big success, The Massey Murder, Gold Diggers, the upcoming Sesquicentennial, and of course, her new book, The Promise of Canada.
