The HBC brigades culture, conflict and perilous journeys of the fur trade /

Anderson, Nancy Marguerite, 1946-,


"A lively recounting of the tough men and heroic but overworked packhorses who broke open BC to the big business of the 19th century fur trade. Facing a grueling thousand-mile trail, the brigades of the Hudson Bay Company (HBC) pushed onward over mountains and through ferocious river crossings to reach the isolated fur-trading posts. But it wasn't just the landscape the brigades faced, as First Nations people struggled with the desire to resist, or assist, the fur company's attempts to build their brigade trails over the Aboriginal trails that led between Indigenous communities, which surrounded the trading posts. Nancy Marguerite Anderson recounts how the devastating Cayuse War of 1847, forced the HBC men over a newly-explored overland trail to Fort Langley. The journey was a disaster-in-waiting."--

A deadly episode a novel /

Horowitz, Anthony, 1955-


"They're making a major feature film of the first Hawthorne/Horowitz mystery novel. Except -- they're behind schedule, they've run out of money and... oh! The star has just been murdered. Ex-Detective Inspector Daniel Hawthorne is dead. Or, rather, the actor playing him in the film adaptation of The Word Is Murder is. Rising star David Caine has been stabbed and it seems that everyone on the set had a motive. Caine had just fired his PA. He had fallen out with his director, slept with the screenwriter, humiliated his co-star and dropped his agent days before he was about to sign a multi-million-dollar deal to appear in the next Spider-Man movie. But what if Caine's murderer had made a mistake? What if it was the real Hawthorne who was the intended victim? For it turns out that the brilliant detective may have got it wrong ten years earlier. An innocent man has died in jail. And perhaps someone has decided that Hawthorne must pay the price. From the film set on the south coast of England, the story moves to Reeth, in Yorkshire, the village where Hawthorne grew up. A burned-down school, a car accident that isn't what it seems, blackmail and murder in an Elizabethan country house... somehow, they combine to unlock the secret of what has happened in Hastings. For once, the local police are helpful. DS Sarah Milnes gives Hawthorne carte blanche to investigate and there may even be a hint of romance in the air. Which leaves his hapless sidekick, Horowitz, on his own, stumbling his way to the truth. A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, A Deadly Episode is an intriguing page-turner that once again demonstrates why Anthony Horowitz is the reigning king of the modern whodunit."--Provided by publisher.

Dream interrupted the rise and fall of Québec nationalism /

Pelletier, Francine, 1949-


"From her front-row seat at the province's political and cultural transformation, Francine Pelletier offers a deeply personal reflection on how Québec shifted over the last fifty years from the inclusive civic nationalism championed by René Lévesque to the more restrictive, intolerant identity-focused nationalism of Premier François Legault. Building on themes from her acclaimed documentary Battle for Québec's Soul, Pelletier explores how Québec's progressive ideals have given way to a more conservative ethos, often cloaked in the defense of 'Québec values.' This book exposes what she calls the Quiet Revolution syndrome -- a collective denial of unwelcome regressions in Québec's politics and identity. With sharp analysis and intimate storytelling, Pelletier invites readers to rethink what it means to be a 'good Québecer' in an era of re-emerging ethnic nationalism."--From publisher.
