Summary "The Day of Sir Wilfrid Laurier: A Chronicle of Our Own Time" by Oscar D. Skelton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the significant political events and developments in Canada during the time of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who served as Prime Minister. The book aims to capture the essence of Laurier's era and his impact on the Canadian political landscape rather than focusing solely on his biography. At the start of the book, the author outlines the early life and background of Wilfrid Laurier, revealing the influences that shaped his character and political beliefs. Laurier's formative years in St. Lin, Quebec, and his educational experiences at L'Assomption College provide a backdrop to his progressive ideas. The text describes his family's legacy and the intellectual atmosphere he grew up in, emphasizing his early commitment to Liberal ideals, his journey through law school, and initial forays into politics. By highlighting these personal and formative experiences, the opening sets the stage for understanding Laurier's later contributions to Canada's political evolution.
