Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Soldiering in Canada: Recollections and Experiences Some years ago, my friend, Mr. James Bain, Librarian of the Toronto Public Library, urged me very strongly to write my reminiscences. We had been discussing some point in Canadian political history in reference to which I happened to have some inside information. I replied, that I could not publish reminiscences of that kind as the time had not arrived when it could be done, and I thought no more about it. In June, 1898, however, I was retired from the command of the Governor-General´s Body Guard on account of reaching the time limit, and my active connection with the Canadian militia, in which I had served since my youth, was ended. Then Mr. Bain´s suggestion recurred to my mind, and I decided to write the recollections of my military career, as a contribution to the records of the defensive forces of Canada. In a review of an autobiography, which I read in a literary paper some years since, the critic said that reminiscences should be written just in the style in which a man would tell his recollections to an old friend while smoking a pipe in front of a fire.
