The Fight of Our Life

On May 6, John Boyko, a wonderful speaker and historian, kept us captivated with his compelling narrative of the American Civil War, and Canada’s interaction, especially the pivotal role played by John A. MacDonald, Canada’s first Prime Minister. John Boyko’s talk was both entertaining and education, and I think most of us had wished we’d had him as our history teacher.His excellent book BLOOD and DARING, How Canada Fought the American Civil War and Forged a Nation is a must read for all Canadians.
