List of cases cited. "Includes 822 opinions on individual cases." - from page iv. "Between 1971 and 1986 public statements by outside interveners concerning alleged war criminals residing in Canada have spread increasingly large and grossly exaggerated figures as to their estimated number. Even leaving aside the figure of 6000 ventured in 1986 by Mr. Simon Wiesenthal and before a detailed examination of each of the cases appearing on the Commission's Master List this list already shows no less than a 400 per cent over-estimate by the proponents of those figures." - from page 249. In one instance government resources were used to investigate the allegation that a certain individual was the infamous Dr. Mengele. The Commission determined this individual had different coloured eyes than the doctor and stood 6'-3" whereas Dr. Mengele was only 5'-8" in height. Average wear. Binding intact. Reading creases to spine. Unmarked but for light pencil tick marks in bibliography. Numerous page corners were folded. Prior owner was a smoker. A sound working copy.

Varin, Raoul
" N.W. Corner of Dearborn and Monroe Streets Chicago Showing the Post Office Building in the Year 1865"
Chicago: A. Ackermann & Son Inc 1927. First Limited edition. Very Good. Image measures approx. 15.5 inches by 21.25 inches; unframed but mounted on fiberboard dark "tidal stain" at lower left margin maskable with matting. <br/><br/>Perhaps the most vivid illustrations created of 1860 Chicago were published by Jevne and Almini in France. Raoul Varin of Paris France re-created the original paintings in the mid-1920s. "The differences between Mr. Varin's paintings and the original prints were subtle. He engraved a variety of signed limited edition numbered prints . in the 1920s and 1930s. They were published by A Ackermann & Son . His views took a historical perspective . often based on extant classical works." Only 100 signed prints of the finished work were published. This is apparently a Proof State of the print and thus unnumbered but it is signed by Varin in pencil in the lower right corner. . A. Ackermann & Son Inc unknown

The style is my own the material was furnished on the Border. The scenes through which I passed were in some respects supremely ridiculous and must be laughable; there were others which were inhuman and must therefore excite horror. To write of events in any other manner than that in which they occurred would not be a true history - Author's Advertisement." Howes M175; Graff 2645; Wagner-Camp-Becker 277. McNamara preached the gospel in northwest Missouri before accepting a call to a church in Chicago in 1853. In 1854 he was appointed as a missionary to the Kansas Territory. He started a parish at Ft. Leavenworth. "A vehement abolitionist he became involved in a heated argument with the post commander and was banned from the fort - KANZAS: The Territorial Years A K-State Libraries exhibit." McNamara became an arch-foe of W. P. Richardson General of the Kansas Militia and a flaming pro-slavery advocate.
