Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada's Sons on Kopje and Veldt: A Historical Account of the Canadian Contingents In the preparation of this story of the three Canadian Contingents that have been so heroically fighting the Empire's battles in South Africa, the utmost care has been taken to get only the most reliable information. It has been ray aim to make a readable book, and at the same time one that will be an authentic history of the part played by Canada in the fierce war just terminated, the fiercest and most disastrous struggle that England has endured since the Crimea, and one that will doubtless cost her, before South Africa is in a safe and settled condition, vastly larger sums than any other war in her history. Through the kindness of the Minister of Militia, the Honorable F. W. Borden, I have had access to the official reports of the officers commanding the various contingents, and have in this way been enabled to give with historical accuracy the events that have been reported and misreported in the despatches from the front. I have likewise examined with the greatest care the fine work done by such able Canadian correspondents as C. Frederick Hamilton and John Ewan, of the Globe; Stanley McKeown Brown, of the Mail and Empire; S. C. Von Tuger Simonski, of the Montreal Herald; W. Richmond Smith, of the Montreal Star, and others. But what has been of greater value to me in grasping for myself the story of Canada's Sons at the front has been the hundreds of letters - honest, straightforward, soldierly letters - from sons and brothers and husbands in the contingents.

This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Largely seen as a purely British affair, the fact that the South African War ( or Boer War) involved troops from the Dominions of the British Empire is too often forgotten. This book helps right this historical memory lapse, telling as it does the full story of Canada s military role in the conflict. IN fact Canada s contribution was a major one, as this book amply attests. Some 8,300 Canadian soldiers served in South Africa; 242 of them were killed in action and many awards were won - including four Victoria Crosses. The first Canadian contingent consisted of eight companies; the second of two battalions and five batteries of artillery; along with Strathcona s Horse. This book is based both on the official despatches of Lieut.-Col. W.D. Otter and other senior officers; along with cables sent by Canadian war correspondents accompanying their forces. There are appendices listing the names of the officers and men who fought; along with a Roll of Honour. This book restores a neglected page to the record of Canada s proud military history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada's Sons in the World War, Vol. 2 of 2: A Complete and Authentic History of the Commanding Part Played by Canada and the British Empire in the World's Greatest War The method adopted by General Nivelle, the hero of Verdun, was not that of the Somme. He decided that the whole Of the Aisne heights would be crushed in at the same time by one bold assault from west, south and southeast; the Rheims heights on the north would be carried at the same time, while his centre would be launched through the gap into the plain of Laon.

Book excerpt: This expanded fourth edition defines and cross-references 9,040 homophones and 2,133 homographs (up from 7,870 and 1,554 in the 3rd ed.). As the most comprehensive compilation of American homophones (words that sound alike) and homographs (look-alikes), this latest edition serves well where even the most modern spell-checkers and word processors fail--although rain, reign, and rein may be spelled correctly, the context in which these words may appropriately be used is not obvious to a computer.

Download or read book Popular Politics in the History of South Africa 1400 1948 written by Paul S. Landau and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-20 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular Politics in the History of South Africa, 1400–1948 offers an inclusive vision of South Africa's past. Drawing largely from original sources, Paul Landau presents a history of the politics of the country's people, from the time of their early settlements in the elevated heartlands, through the colonial era, to the dawn of Apartheid. A practical tradition of mobilization, alliance, and amalgamation persisted, mutated, and occasionally vanished from view; it survived against the odds in several forms, in tribalisms, Christian assemblies, and other, seemingly hybrid movements; and it continues today. Landau treats southern Africa broadly, concentrating increasingly on the southern Highveld and ultimately focusing on a transnational movement called the 'Samuelites'. He shows how people's politics in South Africa were suppressed and transformed, but never entirely eliminated.
