2000ref. 65829University of Toronto Press Scholarly Publishing Division. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2000. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 6.31 X 1.61 X 9.24 inches; 456 pages; Alfred Valdmanis is best known in Canada for his infamous role in Premier Joey Smallwood's scheme to industrialize Newfoundland. A Latvian immigrant he was appointed Director General of Economic Development in 1950 with the understanding that through his connections to Europe he could entice German and Baltic industrialists to the isolated rural island. His influence was brought to an abrupt end when in 1954 he was charged with defrauding the government. The media latching on to his murky past and his possible affiliation with war criminals made him the scapegoat of Newfoundland's problems painting him as part comedian part sinister villain. This was not the first time his name was connected with controversial issues. Valdmanis's wily political manoeuvring is more the stuff of fiction than history. Between 1938 at age 29 and his ironic downfall in the safe haven of Canada he was a finance minister of pre-war Latvia a government official during the Soviet invasion a shrewd collaborator under the Nazi occupation then a friend to the Allies a spokesman for Latvian POW and displaced persons and an adviser to the government of Canada. In this first serious biography of Alfred Valdamis historian Gerhard Bassler casts the story of this political manipulator and chameleon in new terms: the often tragic consequences of the will to survive. . 0802044131 .

Unmarked and still stiff to open in card covers with just a hint of shelflife.; 6.77 X 1 X 9.48 inches; 436 pages; Clifton Royal is a documentary history of a small farming community on the Kennebecasis River in Kings County New Brunswick. It is built from the Wetmore family’s own records rather than a narrative history. The core is diaries from 1870 to 1891: David Pickett Wetmore’s diary for 1870–1880 short diaries by Rebecca Araminta Wetmore May 1873 and May 1874 Howard Douglas Wetmore’s farm journal for 1884–1891 and Genevieve Wetmore’s diary for 1889. With those are the Wetmore & Puddington day book shop records from 1864 with client lists and the Union Agricultural Society minute and account book for 1882–1907. The entries cover fruit-farm work and plantings the general store community and church meetings militia and volunteer service and ordinary household life. Baxter’s introduction and a closing section on Clifton church and community frame the documents. Period photographs illustrate the volume. The result is a close picture of one family’s farms and store and of village institutions in Victorian New Brunswick in the early decades after Confederation. . 2005. 0660193426 .
