Excerpt from The Camosun, Vol. 1: May, 1908 On one occasion, while he was in the city with his wife, they visited a meeting of a Psychic Research Society, and were very much impressed. They often after that spoke of spooks and of the returning to earth of spirits of the dead, and agreed that, if one should die before the other, that one would, if it were in any way possible, visit the other. They lived together for ten more years, in which their only worry was that death might separate them. They brooded over this a great deal, and repeated their agreement to visit the earth.' At last, sure enough, Mrs. Parkhurst became very ill and, after a short illness, died. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Camosun, Vol. 1: February, 1906 We praise the years of old, but we enjoy the modern time, nevertheless both customs are equally worthy of being honoured. I also honour the Chinese New Year far its antiquity, but for convenience sake I enjoy the common modern system of reckoning dates and expect that in the near future the Chinese will also calculate their time by the years of the Emperor of Emperors, rendering honour to Him instead of to their own emperors.

In August 1914, Canada found itself jolted from its splendid isolation by the onrush of a European catastrophe. In Victoria, British Columbia, five hundred youth who had been educated at Victoria High School went to war and were forever changed by the experience. From Classroom to Battlefield follows the experiences of this cohort through the Second Battle of Ypres, when Canadians suffered terribly from the German use of poison gas; the horrors of the Somme, Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele, and Amiens; and, at last, victory at Mons. It weaves Victoria High School’s idealistic hopes into the realities of the pain, suffering, and death in faraway fields of fire, while examining legacies of the conflict at home. This is a poignant book about war, memory, and sacrifice from one of Canada’s preeminent writers of historical nonfiction.
