Stories of Unknown Canadians

It's history!It's what we can still learn from today.Four stories of obscure Canadians come alive as they are told in the first person. An incident that was recorded as happening on the prairie in the late 1800s is told as a humor piece. Letters found in a local museum are turned into an overview of the tragedy that was World War I. In our third chapter, we remember the efforts of Donald Carruthers to found the Manitoba Agricultural Museum. We end with The Jack Kitteringham Story...the tale of an ordinary young man sent from small-town Manitoba to Hong Kong, just before the Japanese attacked.Illustrated with vintage photographs, this is a collection suitable for anyone interested in history...or simply anyone who enjoys a unique story about real people.
