She met Frank Berton in the nearby mining town of Granville shortly after settling in Dawson and teaching kindergarten. Laura Beatrice Berton's autobiography of life in the Yukon entitled I Married the Klondike was published in her later years and gave her what her son Pierre describes as "a modicum of fame, which she thoroughly enjoyed."<a href="#cite_note-Starting_Out-3">[3]</a> At the time, Dawson City was a highly remote place. After visiting Dawson City in the summer of 1939 to see some old friends, it took Berton a week to go from Dawson City to Whitehorse as the only means of a transport was an old paddle-wheeler named the Casca that moved slowly down the Yukon river.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011101-4">[4]</a> Growing up in Dawson City, which had briefly during the Klondike gold rush of the 1890s been one of Canada's largest cities, left Berton with an eye for the colourful.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011290-5">[5]</a> During his childhood he encountered numerous eccentric people who had gone north during the gold rush and ended up staying in Dawson City after the gold rush ended.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011290-5">[5]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Pierre_Berton_Home.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Pierre_Berton_Home.JPG/220px-Pierre_Berton_Home.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="768"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 165px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Pierre_Berton_Home.JPG/220px-Pierre_Berton_Home.JPG" data-width="220" data-height="165" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Pierre_Berton_Home.JPG/330px-Pierre_Berton_Home.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Pierre_Berton_Home.JPG/440px-Pierre_Berton_Home.JPG 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Pierre Berton's childhood home in Dawson City</figcaption></figure> Berton's family moved to <a href="/wiki/Victoria,_British_Columbia" title="Victoria, British Columbia">Victoria, British Columbia</a> in 1932.

He started his journalism career in scouting and later wrote that "the first newspaper I was ever associated with was a weekly typewritten publication issued by the Seagull Patrol of St. Mary’s Troop." He remained in scouting for seven years and wrote about his experiences in an article titled "My Love Affair with the Scout Movement".<a href="#cite_note-Scouting-6">[6]</a> Like his father, Pierre Berton worked in <a href="/wiki/Klondike,_Yukon" title="Klondike, Yukon">Klondike</a> <a href="/wiki/Mining_camp" class="mw-redirect" title="Mining camp">mining camps</a> during his years as a history major at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_British_Columbia" title="University of British Columbia">University of British Columbia</a>,<a href="#cite_note-Publishers2002-7">[7]</a> where he also worked on the student paper <a href="/wiki/The_Ubyssey" title="The Ubyssey">The Ubyssey</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Brettell1999-8">[8]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><h2 id="War-time_career">War-time career</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Pierre_Berton&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: War-time career" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> He spent his early newspaper career in <a href="/wiki/Vancouver" title="Vancouver">Vancouver</a>, where at 21 he was the youngest city editor on any Canadian daily, replacing editorial staff that had been called up to serve in the <a href="/wiki/Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Starting_Out-3">[3]</a> On 7 December 1941, the Japanese Navy bombed the American naval base at Pearl Harbor while on the same day, the Japanese Army invaded the British colonies of Hong Kong and Malaya.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011140-141-9">[9]</a> The extent and rapidity of the Japanese victories in the winter of 1941-1942 came as a considerable surprise, and Berton stated that from his vantage in Vancouver that the war felt much closer than it had done before.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011140-141-9">[9]</a> In February 1942, he noted Japanese-Canadians being held in Vancouver's <a href="/wiki/Hastings_Park" title="Hastings Park">Hastings Park</a> prior to being sent to internment camps in the interior of the province. Meanwhile all over Greater Vancouver the businesses and homes of Japanese-Canadians were seized by the federal government, which proceeded to promptly auction off most of the assets it seized.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011117-118-10">[10]</a> Berton himself was conscripted into the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Army" title="Canadian Army">Canadian Army</a> under the <a href="/wiki/National_Resources_Mobilization_Act" title="National Resources Mobilization Act">National Resources Mobilization Act</a> in 1942 and attended basic training in British Columbia, nominally as a reinforcement soldier intended for <a href="/wiki/The_Seaforth_Highlanders_of_Canada" class="mw-redirect" title="The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada">The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Starting_Out-3">[3]</a> Under the National Resources Mobilization Act, the government had the power to impose conscription for the defence of Canada and only volunteers were sent to fight overseas until late 1944. The men who were conscripted and chose to remain in Canada were popularly known as "the Zombies", a term that was highly disparaging.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011145-11">[11]</a> Because the "Zombies" refused to fight overseas, in many quarters they were viewed as cowards. He elected to "go Active" (the euphemism for volunteering for overseas service). By 1942, the Axis powers were winning the war, and Berton came to feel that the two very different visions of the world offered up by the respective sides were such that he had to take a stand by "going active", instead of remaining safely in Canada as a "Zombie".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011140-145-12">[12]</a> His aptitude as a soldier was such that he was appointed Lance Corporal and attended <a href="/wiki/Non-commissioned_officer" title="Non-commissioned officer">NCO</a> school, and became a basic training instructor in the rank of <a href="/wiki/Corporal" title="Corporal">corporal</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Starting_Out-3">[3]</a> Due to a background in university <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Officers%27_Training_Corps" title="Canadian Officers' Training Corps">Canadian Officers' Training Corps</a> (COTC) and inspired by other citizen-soldiers who had been commissioned, he sought training as an officer.<a href="#cite_note-Starting_Out-3">[3]</a> Berton spent the next several years attending a variety of military courses, becoming, in his words, the most highly trained officer in the military.

By the time Berton had requalified, the war in Europe had ended. During his time in Britain, he dated a woman named Frances who informed him on V Day that she was pregnant with his child and did not want him involved, as told by Berton in his autobiography and retold in his Biography.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011169-170-13">[13]</a> Berton never knew his British child.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011170-171-14">[14]</a> He volunteered for the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Army_Pacific_Force" class="mw-redirect" title="Canadian Army Pacific Force">Canadian Army Pacific Force</a> (CAPF), granted a final "embarkation leave", and found himself no closer to combat employment by the time the Japanese surrendered in September 1945.<a href="#cite_note-Starting_Out-3">[3]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(3)"><h2 id="Fame_as_a_journalist">Fame as a journalist</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Pierre_Berton&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Fame as a journalist" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-3 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-3"> In 1947 he went on an expedition to the <a href="/wiki/Nahanni_River" class="mw-redirect" title="Nahanni River">Nahanni River</a> with pilot <a href="/wiki/Russ_Baker_(pilot)" title="Russ Baker (pilot)">Russ Baker</a>.

Berton arrived in South Korea in March 1951 at a critical moment as the Chinese had just taken Seoul and were preparing for a spring offensive that was launched in April 1951 that was aimed at winning the war by driving out United Nations forces of Korea.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011259-19">[19]</a> The Chinese Spring Offensive was launched, which saw the Anglo-Canadian-Australian-New Zealander <a href="/wiki/27th_Infantry_Brigade_(United_Kingdom)" title="27th Infantry Brigade (United Kingdom)">27th Infantry Commonwealth Brigade</a> in the thick of the fighting. After the failure of the Chinese spring offensive, the United Nations launched a counter-offensive that saw Seoul retaken. By June 1951, the war had reached a stalemate and negotiations were opened for an armistice, which took two years to conclude with the armistice finally being signed on 27 July 1953. During the stalemate phase of the war, both sides sought limited advantages to improve their bargaining positions in the armistice talks by capturing hills, which improved the tactical situation while having no impact on the wider strategical situation in Korea.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011261-22">[22]</a> Berton in his reportage noted that the Canadian soldiers were frustrated by the "war of the hills", complaining that it seemed pointless to them to be used essentially as pawns to improve the bargaining positions in the armistice talks by fighting to capture or hold some barren hill in Korea.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011261-22">[22]</a> Berton reported that the average Canadian soldier in Korea hated their Chinese enemies, but had a grudging respect for their fighting abilities while holding their South Korean allies in complete and utter contempt as the South Koreans always broke under Chinese assaults.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011263-23">[23]</a> Berton also noted, but was prevented by censorship from saying that though the Canadian soldiers respected the British, Australians and New Zealand soldiers they served alongside, but held a lower opinion of the U.S. Army.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011261%E2%80%93263-24">[24]</a> The majority of American soldiers in Korea were teenage draftees, who generally came from the more poorer and less educated elements of American society, which led to morale problems. Berton's experiences in Korea left him with a dislike for the U.S. Army, whose mostly white and middle-class officers he charged were callous in their treatment of their own soldiers, especially if they were black or Hispanic.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011266-25">[25]</a> Berton was to later to write in the 1990s that all of the problems that the U.S. Army had experienced during the Vietnam war such as morale issues, racial tensions, drug use, and a wide gap between officers and the other ranks he had seen first-hand in Korea, led to his conclusion that the U.S. Army had failed to learn anything from the Korean war.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011266-25">[25]</a> Though most of the Canadians in Korea routinely referred to the Koreans as "gooks", Berton's articles often mentioned the suffering of Korean civilians such as one profile he did of a Mrs. Sook whose son was shot by the North Koreans in 1950 when he refused to join the North Korean People's Army, leaving her broken and destitute.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011262%E2%80%93263-26">[26]</a> In another article entitled "Seoul, the saddest city in the world" Berton described the war devastated city of <a href="/wiki/Seoul" title="Seoul">Seoul</a> as being in ruins with the people living there reduced to begging to stay alive and that the deeply corrupt South Korean government of President <a href="/wiki/Syngman_Rhee" title="Syngman Rhee">Syngman Rhee</a> had no interest in helping its own people.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011262%E2%80%93263-26">[26]</a> Berton complied with the requests of the military censors during his time in Korea, altering one story about the killing of 60 black American soldiers in a Chinese raid that began with the line "Killed in their sleeping bags with their boots on" to instead say that the 60 American soldiers were heroically killed in battle resisting the Chinese raid.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011263-23">[23]</a> Berton came to deeply dislike the censorship that he was faced during the Korean war, complaining that he was writing reports that were full of lies and half-truths.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011264-27">[27]</a> Despite agreeing to the requests of the censors, Berton's reports focusing on the bleakness and savagery of the Korean War led to accusations that he was anti-war, and hence pro-Communist.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011264-27">[27]</a> Berton was later to write that though he had much respect for the Canadian veterans of Korea, he felt that Canada's involvement in the Korean war was a major mistake.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011266-25">[25]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(5)"><h2 id="Editor_in_Toronto">Editor in Toronto</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Pierre_Berton&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Editor in Toronto" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-5 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-5"> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Pierre_Berton_Star_on_Canada%27s_Walk_of_Fame.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Pierre_Berton_Star_on_Canada%27s_Walk_of_Fame.jpg/220px-Pierre_Berton_Star_on_Canada%27s_Walk_of_Fame.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="207" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="2481" data-file-height="2334"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 207px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Pierre_Berton_Star_on_Canada%27s_Walk_of_Fame.jpg/220px-Pierre_Berton_Star_on_Canada%27s_Walk_of_Fame.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="207" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Pierre_Berton_Star_on_Canada%27s_Walk_of_Fame.jpg/330px-Pierre_Berton_Star_on_Canada%27s_Walk_of_Fame.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Pierre_Berton_Star_on_Canada%27s_Walk_of_Fame.jpg/440px-Pierre_Berton_Star_on_Canada%27s_Walk_of_Fame.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Pierre Berton's Star on Canada's Walk of Fame</figcaption></figure> Berton moved to Toronto in 1947. At the age of 31 he was named managing editor of <a href="/wiki/Maclean%27s" title="Maclean's">Maclean's</a>. In the 1950s, he published a series of articles in Maclean's that was later turned into his 1956 book The Mysterious North, which recounted his experiences in the far north of Canada in a highly romanticized way.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011293%E2%80%93299-28">[28]</a> The book had only modest sales, but it led to Berton being perceived within the Canadian media as an expert on the far north, causing him to appear on television as the resident northern expert.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011305-29">[29]</a> In 1957, he became a key member of the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Broadcasting_Corporation" title="Canadian Broadcasting Corporation">CBC</a>'s public affairs flagship program, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Close-Up_(tv)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Close-Up (tv) (page does not exist)">Close-Up</a>, and a permanent panelist on the popular television show <a href="/wiki/Front_Page_Challenge" title="Front Page Challenge">Front Page Challenge</a>.<a href="#cite_note-CBC_obit-30">[30]</a> That same year, he also narrated the <a href="/wiki/Academy_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Academy Award">Academy Award</a>-nominated <a href="/wiki/National_Film_Board_of_Canada" title="National Film Board of Canada">National Film Board of Canada</a> documentary <a href="/wiki/City_of_Gold_(1957_film)" title="City of Gold (1957 film)">City of Gold</a>, exploring life in his hometown of Dawson City during the <a href="/wiki/Klondike_Gold_Rush" title="Klondike Gold Rush">Klondike Gold Rush</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Colombo1984-31">[31]</a> He then released an album in conjunction with <a href="/wiki/Folkways_Records" title="Folkways Records">Folkways Records</a>, entitled The Story of the Klondike: Stampede for Gold – The Golden Trail.<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> In 1958, he published his best-selling book Klondike The Last Great Gold Rush, a social history about the Klondike gold rush.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011320%E2%80%93321-33">[33]</a> Berton traced the appalling hardships faced by the thousands of people who came from around the world to seek their fortunes in the Klondike, the vast majority of whom failed to achieve their dreams of riches. Berton also covered the rise and fall of Dawson City, a boomtown that was full of bars, brothels and gambling halls that catered to the gold prospectors, giving it a disreputable reputation both at the time and since. The book's hero was the tough and stern Colonel <a href="/wiki/Sam_Steele" title="Sam Steele">Sam Steele</a>, the Yukon commissioner of the <a href="/wiki/North-West_Mounted_Police" title="North-West Mounted Police">North-West Mounted Police</a>, a policeman with an almost legendary reputation who upheld law and order during the gold rush.<a href="#cite_note-Rogers-34">[34]</a> Berton's background as someone who grew up in the Yukon added to the book's appeal as many reviewers praised Klondike The Last Great Gold Rush for its sense of "authenticity".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011325-35">[35]</a> Berton joined the <a href="/wiki/Toronto_Star" title="Toronto Star">Toronto Star</a> as associate editor of the <a href="/wiki/Star_Weekly" title="Star Weekly">Star Weekly</a> and columnist for the daily paper in 1958. In April 1959, Berton went to Cairo with a camera crew from the Close-Up television show with the aim of interviewing President <a href="/wiki/Gamal_Abdel_Nasser" title="Gamal Abdel Nasser">Gamal Abdel Nasser</a> who turned out to be unwilling to be interviewed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011367-36">[36]</a> To relive the boredom as he waited for an entire month to interview Nasser, Berton had the Close-Up camera crew make a documentary about life in Egypt, which he credited with broadening his perspective.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011367-36">[36]</a> Following the <a href="/wiki/Sharpeville_massacre" title="Sharpeville massacre">Sharpeville massacre</a> of 21 March 1960, when the South African police opened fire on a crowd of black South Africans protesting <a href="/wiki/Apartheid" title="Apartheid">apartheid</a>, killing 69 people while wounding about 180 people, Berton was one of the speakers at a fundraiser at <a href="/wiki/Massey_Hall" title="Massey Hall">Massey Hall</a> that sought to raise money to treat those wounded in the massacre.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011350-37">[37]</a> Greatly shaken by the massacre, Berton used his column to criticize the apartheid system in South Africa, writing: "The time has come for this country to finally take a stand on South Africa".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011350-37">[37]</a> At the time, there was a split within the Commonwealth (considered more important at the time than today) between its predominately white members such as Britain, Australia, and New Zealand who wanted South Africa to stay vs. nonwhite members such as India, Pakistan, Ghana, and Malaya who were pressing to have South Africa expelled while Canada initially equivocated about where it stood. At the time, there were concerns that the question of South African membership might cause the break-up of the Commonwealth. Berton argued that Canada should side with the nonwhite bloc and use its influence to have South Africa expelled from the Commonwealth and not be permitted to return until apartheid ended.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011350-37">[37]</a> In 1960, he performed an experiment, which demonstrated widespread anti-Semitism in the resort industry when he first mailed out a letter under the name Sol Cohen to 106 resorts in the Ontario countryside, asking to stay for two weeks, and the next day he mailed another set of letters to the same resorts under the name D.M. Douglas, again asking to stay for two weeks.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011352-38">[38]</a> The majority of the letters sent out under the name Cohen received the reply that the resorts were all booked up and there was no space or alternatively did not answer at all.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011352-38">[38]</a> By contrast, the majority of the letters sent out under the name Douglas all received the replies that he could stay for the requested two weeks.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011352-38">[38]</a> Berton compared the replies he received, noting there was a frosty tone to the replies to the Cohen letters while there was more warmth in the replies to the Douglas letters.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011352-38">[38]</a> Only the Green Gables lodge in <a href="/wiki/Muskoka_Lakes" title="Muskoka Lakes">Muskoka</a> had been willing to allow Berton under the name Cohen to stay.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011352-38">[38]</a> In his column, Berton named all of the resorts that they were willing to rent to someone with the typically Scottish surname of Douglas while refusing to rent to someone with the typically Jewish surname of Cohen.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011352-38">[38]</a> The column provoked much discussion at the time, and led to demands to end the anti-Semitic policies of the resort owners.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011352-38">[38]</a> In 1960, he visited Japan as part of his duties as a Toronto Star columnist to investigate Japan 15 years after the end of World War Two, where he was stunned by <a href="/wiki/Japanese_economic_miracle" title="Japanese economic miracle">Japanese economic miracle</a> as he noted all of the Japanese cities had been rebuilt after having bombed to utter ruin during the war.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011371-372-39">[39]</a> Berton visited Hiroshima and its Peace Memorial, where he found himself sickened by the photographs of the survivors of the atomic bombing of that city, writing that: "for sheer horror it outdoes everything save the relics of Belsen and Buchenwald...I seemed to feel the little eyes of the Japanese boring into my back as I stared at those terrible pictures of heaped and peeling human bodies...The Germans, we are told, were stunned by motion pictures of the extermination camps. No sensitive Westerner can escape the same sense of guilt in the museum of Hiroshima. We roasted people to death over a slow fire. We tortured them just as surely as the Nazis tortured the Jews".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011373-40">[40]</a> The comparison of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima to the Holocaust provoked controversy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011373-40">[40]</a> Berton expressed much sadness in his columns about the fading of traditional Japanese culture as he noted the most popular form of plastic surgery for Japanese women was making their eyes appear Western; that Western music was being played everywhere including Shinto shrines; and the "this typical Japanese family [that he had stayed with] was about typical as John David Eaton's would be in Toronto".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011373-374-41">[41]</a> By the early 1960s, Berton's company, Pierre Berton Enterprises, was making an annual income of $37, 000 dollars at a time when the typical Canadian had an annual income of $5, 187 dollars, making him and his family comfortably upper middle-class.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011378-42">[42]</a> As a columnist, he turned the beating of the gambler Maxie Bluestein by the gangster <a href="/wiki/Johnny_Papalia" title="Johnny Papalia">Johnny Papalia</a> on 21 March 1961 who used a steel pipe to nearly beat Bluestein to death in public into a cause célèbre.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAugerEdwards2012184%E2%80%93185-43">[43]</a> Berton called the beating of Bluestein a "semi-execution" brazenly committed in the front lobby of the popular Town Tavern nightclub of Toronto, and demanded that the police bring Papalia to justice despite the unwillingness of nearly 100 witnesses to testify.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELangton201012-44">[44]</a> Berton described the beating: "...as terrible a beating as it is possible to give a man without killing him...Iron bars with ropes attached to them for greater leverage rained down on Bluestein's head and across his forehead, eyes and cheekbones. His scalp was split seven or eight times. Knuckledusters were smashed into his eyes and a broken bottle was ground into his mouth. When Bluestein dropped to the floor, he was kicked in the face.

Banks</a>, who, with the support of the Canadian government, had been allowed to take over the Communist-dominated <a href="/wiki/Seafarers_International_Union" class="mw-redirect" title="Seafarers International Union">Seafarers International Union</a> in 1949. The way that Banks had operated as a sort of state-sanctioned criminal who had been allowed to engage in many acts of violence was immensely controversial. In an episode aired on 22 November 1964, Berton pressed Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Lester_B._Pearson" title="Lester B. Pearson">Lester B.

We get Berton in the morning and Berton at night. He is in the book section, the religion section, the TV section of our daily newspapers; he is the subject of feature articles and gossipy items in the national magazines; he is interviewed by every disc jockey, advice to the housewife dispenser, numerologist and pitchmen on every radio station in the land; he is on every television program, on every Canadian television channel, not just once in a while or two or three times a day, but all day, everyday-or so it seems.

Berton defined the building of the railroad as a struggle of man against nature, seeing it as a triumph of human ingenuity and willpower, as the builders defeated the harsh landscape of northern Ontario, the seemingly endless Prairies, and the imposing Rocky Mountains.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011490-63">[63]</a> In the spring of 1968, Berton began his research for his railroad saga, which became The National Dream and The Last Spike.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011484-64">[64]</a> Before the 1960s, the major divisions in English-Canadian society were between continentalism (i.e., moving Canada closer to the United States), associated with the Liberal Party, and imperialism (which in a Canadian context meant closer ties with Great Britain), associated with the Conservative party. The 1960s saw the emergence of the "new nationalism" that rejected both continentalism and imperialism as options. Berton became one of the principle spokesmen for this new nationalism, as he argued that Canada could stand alone as a great nation.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop20111-65">[65]</a> The Pierre Berton Show was a popular television show owing to famous guests from Canada and around the world.

Berton interviewed several First Nations people in support of his thesis that indigenous peoples had been "beaten, starved, and otherwise punished by church and federal schools".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011487-68">[68]</a> The choice of guests and themes that season reflected what had become the show's main focus, namely a mixture of "celebrities, sex, and social justice".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011487-68">[68]</a> In July 1969, Berton had the telephone removed from his house in Kleinburg, and claimed he was leaving for Mexico.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011487-68">[68]</a> He spent the summer of 1969 writing his railroad epic, which came to be divided into two volumes owing to its length with his work finally being finished in December 1969.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011487_&_498-69">[69]</a> In 1971 Berton interviewed <a href="/wiki/Bruce_Lee" title="Bruce Lee">Bruce Lee</a>, the famous martial artist's only surviving television interview.

His biographer, <a href="/wiki/Brian_McKillop" class="mw-redirect" title="Brian McKillop">Brian McKillop</a> wrote: "No one in Canada or for that matter in North America, managed to take hold of the full range of the mainstream media with the same kind of commanding presence and authority.

Berton described how the railroad builders had to quite literally blast and hack their way through the sheer granite of the Rocky mountains, which was an extremely difficult, dangerous and arduous task, given the technology of the time. Hidy wrote that as a work of narrative popular history, Berton succeeded admirably in telling the story of the construction of the CPR over daunting odds, and in impressing the reader as to why the building of the CPR, which was completed five years ahead of schedule, was considered one of the great engineering feats of the 19th century.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHidy1973284%E2%80%93285-75">[75]</a> However, other historians were more critical. <a href="/wiki/Michael_Bliss" title="Michael Bliss">Michael Bliss</a> felt that Berton's picture of the Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald, was too colored by hero-worship as Bliss in a critical review stated that Berton went beyond even Creighton (whose two-volume biography of MacDonald was very sympathetic towards its subject) in portraying MacDonald as the heroic prime minister.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011490-63">[63]</a> In common with many other Canadians, Berton found the 1970s to be an unpleasant decade as the recession caused by the Arab oil shock of 1973–74 put an end to the "long summer" of prosperity that had begun in 1945 while the election of the separatist <a href="/wiki/Parti_Qu%C3%A9b%C3%A9cois" title="Parti Québécois">PQ</a> government in Quebec in 1976 led to doubts about whatever Canada would even last as a nation. By 1979, on the threshold of a new decade that seemed to promise only more trouble, Berton came to feel that Canada needed another national epic to give hope in dark and uncertain times.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011555-77">[77]</a> As the subject of his new national epic, Berton chose the War of 1812 with the first of his books, The Invasion of Canada dealing with the subject being published in 1980, and the second one, Flames Across the Border in 1981.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011558-78">[78]</a> Berton chose to interpret the War of 1812 as not a war between the United States and Great Britain which just happened to be fought in North America, but rather as the beginning of a Canadian national identity.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011557-79">[79]</a> Though Berton's nationalist interpretation of the War of 1812 was not accepted by most historians it certainly appealed to the Canadian public and his books dealing with the War of 1812 sold very well.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011557%E2%80%93558-80">[80]</a> In his 1984 book The Promised Land, he covered the settlement of the Prairie provinces in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011580%E2%80%93581-81">[81]</a> Pierre set out to debunk the heroic image of the colonization of the West by focusing on the hardships and suffering of the farmers who could be easily ruined by crop failures. He focused instead on the tenacity and sheer determination of the settlers and provided a new heroic image of the settlement of the West.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011581-82">[82]</a> In 1986, he published Vimy, which was one of his more successful books dealing with the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011593-83">[83]</a> Berton provoked much controversy that his thesis that Vimy may have been a great victory that saw all the four divisions of the Canadian corps fight together for the first time to achieve what had been considered an impossible task, namely to take the heavily fortified Vimy ridge that towered about the Douai plain, but the victory were not worth the sacrifices of thousands of young men who were either killed or wounded.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011593-83">[83]</a> Berton noted that 1 out of 10 Canadians who stormed up the heights of Vimy Ridge on 9 April 1917 were either killed or wounded, leading him to the conclusion that it would be better if the battle had not been fought at all.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011593-83">[83]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(8)"><h2 id="1990s-2000s">1990s-2000s</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Pierre_Berton&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: 1990s-2000s" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-8 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-8"> In 1992, he published Niagara: A History, a social history dealing with the people associated with the <a href="/wiki/Niagara_Falls" title="Niagara Falls">Niagara Falls</a> together with a follow-up picture book of Niagara falls in 1993.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011615%E2%80%93616-84">[84]</a> Unlike his other books, the Niagara books sold poorly, which marked the beginning of his decline from his position as Canada's preeminent public intellectual.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011615%E2%80%93616-84">[84]</a> The decline of the appeal of his books was linked to the decline of the "new nationalism" he had been associated with. Berton almost seemed to acknowledge the decline of the "new nationalism" in his 1997 book 1967 The Last Good Year, arguing that the Centennial year of 1967 was the highpoint of Canadian history and everything that had happened since 1967 had been a story of decline and decay.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKillop2011650%E2%80%93651-85">[85]</a> In a review of Onward to War in the Globe & Mail in October 2001, the historian <a href="/wiki/Modris_Eksteins" title="Modris Eksteins">Modris Eksteins</a> wrote: "'Canada's historian', as his publishers are describing him in recent advertising, takes us with his usual narrative verve across sundry battlefields, of South Africa, northern Europe and Korea, but also Ottawa and other venues of our domestic political strife....is this kind of judgmental narrative what history should be in the 21st century?
