Early Life and Career

Edgar Crowell was born in 1859 in Nova Scotia. He began his career as a journalist in the 1880s, and quickly established himself as a leading voice in the Canadian media. He was a strong advocate for Canadian nationalism, and he used his platform to promote the idea of a Canadian Crown.

In 1893, Crowell published his first book, The Canadian Crown Quest. This book was a comprehensive overview of the history of the Canadian monarchy, and it helped to raise awareness of the issue among the Canadian public. Crowell followed this up with a series of other books and articles on the subject, and he became known as the leading authority on the Canadian Crown.

The Canadian Crown Society

In 1901, Crowell founded the Canadian Crown Society. This organization was dedicated to promoting the establishment of a Canadian Crown, and it quickly became the focal point of the Crown Quest movement. Crowell served as the society's president for many years, and he led the fight for a Canadian monarchy.

The Canadian Crown Society played a key role in the development of the Canadian constitution. In 1901, the society submitted a petition to the British government asking for the establishment of a Canadian Crown. This petition was rejected, but it helped to raise awareness of the issue among British officials.

In 1917, the Canadian Crown Society made a second attempt to petition the British government. This time, the petition was successful, and it led to the passage of the Statute of Westminster in 1931. This statute gave Canada the power to establish its own monarchy, and it marked a major turning point in the Crown Quest movement.
