Notes	Robert Glasgow was a well-known Canadian publisher and this is my interest in him and his family. From a young age, he was interested in books, especially the marketing of them and apparently, he spent a few years after 1901 in Australia on a book-selling venture. He returned to Toronto about 1908 and during the First War, his company published the "Chronicles of Canada" in 20 volumes and "Canada and Its Provinces" in 23 vols. He moved to NYC in 1918 or 1919 and in conjunction with Yale University, he was responsible for the "Chronicles of America", a series of 50 vols. At the time of his death, Glasgow was making arrangements to bring American history to the movie screen -- his company produced several films after his death based on the "Chronicles" books.
