With the Turks in Palestine


Book Description

Aaronsohn was born in a Jewish village in Palestine, but came in 1910 to America to enter the service of the United States Department of Agriculture. In June 1913, he returned to his native land to take some motion pictures as a basis for a lecture tour in America. He was there when the war broke out and he was impressed into service in the Turkish Army. From that time on until his escape on the cruiser the U.S.S. Des Moines, he was actively involved, both in the campaign of the Turks in Asia Minor and in certain popular movements among his own people which very nearly led to his execution.




The Mac's of '37 A Story of The Canadian Rebellion


Book Description

The historical novel "The Mac's of '37 A Story of The Canadian Rebellion" captures the events of the Upper Canadian rebellion of 1837. The Upper Canada Rebellion was an insurrection against the oligarchic government of the British colony of Upper Canada (present-day Ontario) in December 1837. While public grievances had existed for years, it was the rebellion in Lower Canada (present-day Quebec), which started the previous month, that emboldened rebels in Upper Canada to revolt. The rebellion led directly to Lord Durham's Report on the Affairs of British North America, and to the British North America Act, 1840, which partially reformed the British provinces into a unitary system, leading to the formation of Canada as a nation in 1867.
