Sinopsis

Dive into the heart of early Canadian homesteading and pioneer life with Reverend John McDougall, a renowned pioneer and missionary. The collection unfolds a captivating narrative of his experiences on the untamed frontiers of Western Canada. Spanning the 1840s to the 1870s, it brings together McDougall's celebrated memoirs, biographies, and insightful lectures on Canadian rural societies.
The journey begins with "Forest, Lake and Prairie," an intimate account of McDougall's two decades immersed in the challenges and triumphs of frontier life in Western Canada. "Saddle, Sled and Snowshoe" delves into the pioneering spirit that characterized the Saskatchewan in the tumultuous 1860s, while "Pathfinding on Plain and Prairie" offers stirring scenes of life in the Canadian Northwest.
Experience the turbulence of "In the Days of the Red River Rebellion," as McDougall narrates life and adventure in the far west of Canada during the years 1868 to 1872. "On Western Trails in the Early Seventies" unfolds the continuing saga of frontier pioneer life in the Canadian Northwest, providing a glimpse into the resilience of early settlers.
Delve into the legendary tale of "Wa-pee Moos-tooch" or "White Buffalo," The Hero of a Hundred Battles, offering a mesmerizing portrait of life in Canada's Great West during the early years of the last century. McDougall's lectures on "Rural Life in Canada" provide insightful reflections on the opportunities and challenges of Canadian rural society.
The collection culminates in "George Millward McDougall," a poignant biography honoring the pioneer, patriot, and missionary—John McDougall's father. "Frontier Chronicles" stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of early Canadian pioneers and the enduring legacy of those who shaped the landscape of Western Canada.

    In the over 100 years since it sank on its maiden voyage, the Titanic has been the subject of endless fascination, as evidenced by the efforts to find its final resting spot, the museums full of its objects, and the countless books, documentaries, and movies made about the doomed ocean liner. Thanks to the dramatization of the Titanic’s sinking and the undying interest in the story, millions of people are familiar with various aspects of the ship’s demise, and the nearly 1,500 people who died in the North Atlantic in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912. The sinking of the ship is still nearly as controversial now as it was over 100 years ago, and the drama is just as compelling.  
    	In the century since the Titanic sank, public interest in the ship and its history has waxed and waned on a regular basis. There was a flurry of activity right after it went down, as people tried to wrap their minds around what happened, but the World Wars pushed attention elsewhere. Then, during the 1950s, scientists had the time and money to become interested in it again. While there were numerous attempts to find that ship during the 1970s, the mighty ship still kept her secrets, her dead and their possessions safely at the bottom of the sea, where only strange creature comfortable in the depths could disturb them. 
    	As it turned out, the most famous wreck in the world would not be located until 1985, over 70 years after the ship sank that fateful April night. The discovery ignited a new flurry of interest in Titanic, including an interest in what the wreck still held, who those items belonged, to and what should be done with them. The 1997 blockbuster movie about the ship only stirred up more interest and controversy, both of which continue to this day.

    Commando Medics in the Falkland War

    This is a unique account of the Falkland War, told by former Commando Medic, Malcolm Hazell, who led a team of 39 men, initially at Ajax Bay, and subsequently at Teal Inlet where they were alongside members of the Special Boat Service (SBS) and the Commandos specialist Mountain and Arctic Warfare Cadre (M&AW Cadre). 
    Detailed accounts are given of the facilities the medical team provided at both locations, and the largely untold military role Teal Inlet played in defeating the Argentine Forces. Above all this is a graphic account of the war, and its many battles, including Naval gunfire support provided by destroyers and frigates, and the damage and losses resulting both ashore and afloat. Having written the account, shocking anomalies regarding fatalities from both sides of the conflict are uncovered and remain unresolved. 
    Malcolm Hazell's medical team played a full part in the reception and treatment of around two-thirds of all the casualties treated ashore, ably supported at Ajax Bay by both Royal Navy and Parachute surgical teams; but at Teal Inlet they depended on just one surgeon and a handful of other medics to manage an operating table. When weather conditions deteriorated as the war reached its climax, the team at Teal Inlet were the sole receiving medical facility, placing an unimaginable strain on the facility, much of which was under canvas. Argentine and British fatalities were also being flown back to the facility - something that has proven highly controversial and contentious as the author has sought to clarify anomalies he identified in 2020, only to be met with denials and silence. 
    This is not just a medics story however, and the reader is given a full understanding of the tactical situation throughout the account, on a day-by-day, blow-by-blow basis. 'Commando Medics in the Falkland War' provides a complete insight into almost every aspect of this brutal war.
