The Punishing Journey of Arthur Delaney by Bob KrollFor readers of Paulette Jiles and Gil Adamson, a 19th-century tale of a father's greatest regret and path to redemption Devastated at his wife's death and stricken at raising two girls and a boy on his own, Arthur Delaney places his children in a Halifax orphanage and runs off to join the Union Army in the American Civil War. The trauma of battle and three years in a disease-ridden prisoner-of-war prison changes his perspective on life and family. After the war, Delaney odd-jobs his way up the American east coast and catches a schooner to Halifax. There he discovers the orphanage has relocated to a farm in rural Nova Scotia. His children are not there. They and others had been sold and resold as farm workers and house servants through the Maritime provinces, as well as Quebec and Ontario. Their whereabouts is unknown. Arthur Delaney sets out on a punishing 20-year journey across Canada to find them. This is a heartbreaking, beautifully told story of a father's attempt to reconnect with his children. |

Cobalt : Cradle of the Demon Metals, Birth of a Mining Superpower
by Charlie Angus
The current demand for cobalt, the mining of which has a troubled past and present, has renewed interest in the small town of Cobalt, Ontario. The author looks at the history of the town and how the mining rush there impacted Indigenous lands, the treatment of workers, and the natural environment--and how the template for resource extraction that was established during that time led to Canada becoming the world's dominant mining superpower.
