It makes some sense given the geography, but so many times in reading these books anything outside of the US isn't touched on, which is fine.
Notoepick hooked me up with a great Montana book recently that I'm currently reading. I love local history. The specificty is so unique when dealing with such limited subject matter.

the tales of the CP Rail survey through the mountains are unreal. I actually rode in a mountain bike race this summer that used part of the original Palliser trail (yes, the hotel in Calgary is named after him). And the nasty crap west of Lake Superior....ugh! Great, great reading.
