1 comments about One Soldier's Story: 1939-1945.
- It is a story about a Canadian soldier, George MacDonell who was sent to Hong Kong and fought with the Japanese during the World War II. In this book MacDonell started with how he became a Canadian soldier and then described how he was sent to the Pacific War zone during the World War II. When the Canadian army lost the battery in Hong Kong, he became the prisoner of War. He depicted how the Japanese in the Prison of War camp in Hong Kong, then Japan treated him and other soldiers. After years in the prison, he was eventually released in the year of 1945. He then described how he struggled through and became a successful businessman. It is an excellent memoir. The only minor "mistake" is the inconsistent of the names of the place. For instance, the Hong Kong Tai Tam Reservoir sometimes is romanized as "Ty Tam Reservoir." Other than that, the book is well written and organized.

1 comments about Heroes and Heroines of New France.
- By Edward G. Schultz, author of "Morgan's Mission", "Christmas Stories For Adults" and "Poems for People Who Don't Like Poetry". - E. Charlebois certainly did a great amount of research to provide the narrative of the very early settlers of Canada (New France), and of their far reaching explorations and affect on history. The intense devotion and allegiance of the many hundreds of individuals noted in this book are, I believe, unsurpassed in any period of history. From 1635 with Samauel de Champlain to the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, these many hundreds of pioneers not only explored Canada, but also the areas that are now Upper New York, Michigan, Ohio, Arkansas and Louisiana. The incedible hardships, the decimation of whole villages, the tryanies and betrayals involved in plots by many nations, are intimately detailed.
Readers who have early Canadian ancestry or persons generally interested in the colonial history of early North America will benfit from the details recited in this book.
