VERCHÈRES, FOSTER — WAR ON THE DETROIT
The Lakeside Press, Chicago, 1940
Hardcover, approx. 4 1/2” x 6 7/8”, 347 numbered pages, with fold-out map

This handsome little volume is part of the celebrated Lakeside Classics series, published annually since 1903 by R.R. Donnelley & Sons as a Christmas keepsake — never sold, only gifted, which makes surviving copies prized by collectors of Americana and fine printing alike.

Edited by historian Milo M. Quaife, it brings together two rare firsthand accounts of the War of 1812 on the Detroit frontier: the chronicle of Thomas Verchùres de Boucherville, a young Canadian fur trader who witnessed the fall of Detroit, and “The Capitulation” by an Ohio Volunteer, giving the American side of General Hull’s infamous surrender. Together they offer a vivid, ground-level view of one of the most dramatic episodes in Canadian and American history.

A wonderful piece of War of 1812 history in the elegant pocket-sized format the Lakeside Classics are known for.

📘 George F.G. Stanley — L’Invasion du Canada, 1775–1776
Une histoire vraie, et toujours d’actualitĂ© : les États-Unis ont envahi le Canada plus d’une fois — militairement en 1775, diplomatiquement en 1812, et mĂȘme dans des plans secrets comme War Plan Red dans les annĂ©es 1930.

En ces temps oĂč l’on parle encore du Canada comme d’un hypothĂ©tique « 51e État », ce livre rare nous rappelle l’histoire complexe de notre souverainetĂ©.

🔮 Ce titre, vendu par HareBooks, provient des expositions personnelles de John Ellis Hare, historien et professeur Ă©mĂ©rite.

George F.G. Stanley — L’Invasion du Canada, 1775–1776
Once upon a time, the U.S. didn’t just talk about Canada becoming the 51st state — they tried to make it happen. In 1775, American troops invaded through Maine. Montreal was occupied. And decades later, under War Plan Red, the U.S. drafted real plans to capture Quebec and Halifax.

This rare title sold quickly from HareBooks, part of the personal exhibit archive of historian John Ellis Hare.

J’ai choisi de me battre : petite histoire trĂšs personnelle du sĂ©paratisme quĂ©bĂ©cois de Maurice Duplessis Ă  Claude Wagner est un ouvrage autobiographique de Marcel Chaput, publiĂ© en 1965 par le Club du livre du QuĂ©bec. Ce livre de 160 pages offre un tĂ©moignage personnel sur l’évolution du mouvement indĂ©pendantiste quĂ©bĂ©cois, de l’ùre Duplessis jusqu’aux annĂ©es 1960. ïżŒ ïżŒ

Marcel Chaput, scientifique de formation et militant indĂ©pendantiste, y retrace son parcours politique, notamment son rĂŽle de cofondateur du Rassemblement pour l’indĂ©pendance nationale (RIN) et du Parti rĂ©publicain du QuĂ©bec (PRQ). L’ouvrage met en lumiĂšre les dĂ©fis rencontrĂ©s par les militants indĂ©pendantistes, les tensions internes aux mouvements et les rĂ©actions des autoritĂ©s canadiennes face Ă  ces revendications. ïżŒ

Ce rĂ©cit est considĂ©rĂ© comme une source prĂ©cieuse pour comprendre les motivations et les actions des premiers militants de l’indĂ©pendance du QuĂ©bec. Il est disponible dans certaines bibliothĂšques spĂ©cialisĂ©es, telles que la BibliothĂšque Lionel-Groulx, et peut ĂȘtre consultĂ© en ligne via des plateformes dĂ©diĂ©es Ă  l’histoire du mouvement indĂ©pendantiste quĂ©bĂ©cois. J’ai vendu le livre Ă  un lecteur de Lincoln, en Nouvelle-Angleterre.

Mythe du sauvage
Olive Patricia Dickason. QuĂ©bec, Le Septentrion, 1993. 454 p. DANS LE MYTHE DU SAUVAGE, l’auteure prĂ©sente la genĂšse d’un des plus grands mythes de l’histoire occidentale.

Elle dĂ©montre clairement comment l’Europe, cherchant Ă  comprendre les habitants du Nouveau Monde, a crĂ©Ă© de toutes piĂšces l’image du “ Sauvage amĂ©ricain “. Les mythes qui en dĂ©coulent influenceront l’attitude europĂ©enne envers l’AmĂ©rique.
The myth of the savage
AN examination of the early contacts between explorers and Amerindians, the variety of societies in the New World, the development of European beliefs and attitudes towards Amerindians, the origins of the concept of l’homme sauvage, relations between Amerindians and the early colonists and missionaries, and the outcome of colonization of the New World. Focuses on France’s particular experiences in exploration, trade, and colonization, especially in Brazil, Florida, and on the St. Lawrence. Sold to a reader in Quebec City!

Another signed edition sold of the prolific QuĂ©bĂ©cois author Felix Savard. FĂ©lix-Antoine Savard, OC MSRC (August 31, 1896 – August 24, 1982) was a Canadian priest, academic, poet, novelist and folklorist. The mountains of Charlevoix were the setting for his 1937 novel Menaud, maĂźtre draveur which made him famous and earned him a medal from the AcadĂ©mie française. It remains to this day one of the best-known works of Quebec literature.
