Published Date: 1988

Physical Description: 31 pages, 22.8cm

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Subjects: Ukrainians; War; World War I; World War, 1914-1918; Mary Haskett; Cave and Basin; Castle Mountain Internment Camp

Abstract: Historical overview of the Ukranian-Canadian experience of persecution during World War I under guise of the 'Austrian' threat; includes scans of POW documents and images of men in the internment camps. Covers 1914-1920 and includes some local references.

Notes: This copy is very special because it contains extra items which are copies of orginal letters to the author from the Minister of the Environment dated 1993, newspaper clippings, and photocopies of newspaper clippings, specifically mentioning Mary Haskett, as well as a signed letter to Ben Gadd from the author encouraging him to include the Ukranian story in his new book. This is important for regional history and especially valuable as the correspondence included in the book shows active discussion (at the time) of the injustice. May be of special interest to those with an interest in the current Ukranian-Russian conflict.; New editions are re-titled as - 'Without just cause : Canada's first national internment operations and the Ukrainian Canadians, 1914-1920'; Ben Gadd Personal Library

Publisher: [Place of publication not identified]

Published Date: 1923

Physical Description: 211 pages portraits

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Series: Number Four

Subjects: World War I; World War, 1914-1918; Princeton; Moore, Philip

Abstract: The main purpose of this book is to furnish the University with a complete war record of the members of the Class. It is, therefore, primarily a statistical record and does not aspire to fill the place of an elaborate Class record such as the Class of 1904 deserves. The quinquennial record was the last book published by the Class and it has been a great disappointment to many of us that a complete record has not appeared since. Let us hope that our twentieth reunion will be productive of the information and enthusiasm as well as the inspired individual necessary for the compiling of such a volume. The Secretary desires to express his thanks to the members of the Class for their co-operation in responding to his requests for the information required for this book. The assistance of Bill Wrightson and his organization have made the completion of the work possible. Faithfully yours, W.A.B., Jr. (from introduction)

Contents: Section I: Maps ; Section II: Descriptive and Statistical Notes and Index

Notes: The HANDY VOLUME ATLAS OF THE WORLD has long enjoyed a large measure of popularity as the most complete and accurate Compendium of Geographical Information of its size published. The evidence of this continued popularity lies in the fact that, since it was first produced under the Editorship of the eminent Geographer, the late Dr. E. G. Ravenstein, no fewer than fourteen large editions have been issued. In this, the FIFTEENTH EDITION, the present Editor has endeavoured to deserve a continuance of that popularity, by making the new issue of the Atlas a complete SURVEY of POST-WAR GEOGRAPHY, exhibiting, in their natural order, the territorial changes and political changes throughout the World effected by the Peace Treaties and Agreements following the Great War. -- Excerpt from Preface, p. v
