About the author

Oscar D. Skelton is an author about whom relatively little biographical information is available; public sources do not specify his nationality or dates of birth and death, and only one of his works is currently held in the collection. His representative work is The Canadian Dominion: A Chronicle of Our Northern Neighbor, which, judging from its title and subject matter, is a historical narrative centered on Canada and is generally classified under history and world history. Taking "our northern neighbor" as its angle, the book introduces readers to the historical development and regional character of the Canadian Dominion in a chronicle-like manner, tracing the formation and growth of this northern country along a chronological thread. Because reliable information about the author himself is limited, readers' understanding of him rests mainly on this work, which also offers Chinese readers an English-language reference for learning about Canadian history.
