The only rival to Harrison Mc Cain’s entrepreneurial success was his deep attachment to his Maritime roots. From Mc Cain’s beginnings in Florenceville, New Brunswick, the early mentorship he received from K.C. Irving, to the global success of his corporate empire Mc Cain Foods, Donald Savoie presents a compelling and candid biography of one of the most famous and down-to-earth figures in Canadian business history. Savoie, a longtime friend to Mc Cain, describes a driven, charismatic, and energetic man who had a keen wit and a deep commitment to his business and hometown. Through unprecedented access to Mc Cain’s papers and interviews with family members, friends, and colleagues, Savoie details the decisions that Mc Cain made alongside his brother and business partner, Wallace Mc Cain, from the company’s humble beginnings to its expansion in Europe, Australia, India, and China. Mc Cain saw the potential of globalization before others did. Despite conflict between the brothers and the eventual fracture of their partnership, Savoie presents the Mc Cains’ dedication as so immersed in the development of their company that they had little time left for second-guessing. At a time when New Brunswick struggles to reinvent itself economically, Savoie points to former government policies and programs that helped the company thrive and holds up the example of Harrison Mc Cain with the hope of seeing Canadian success stories like this in the future.
