Synopsis Stanley Barracks by : Aldona Sendzikas
"Aldona Sendzikas has produced a book on one of Toronto's forgotten institutions: the New Fort, or Stanley Barracks (which stood to the west of the better-known Fort York). Aldona explores such themes as the construction of the garrison in the aftermath of the Rebellion of 1837, the place of the British army in the life of the colonial city, the founding of the North-West Mounted Police at the New Fort, the early ears of Canada's professional army, the military's extensive operations at 'Exhibition Camp' between 1914-18 and 1939-45, the interment of enemy aliens at the site during the Great War, and the destruction of most of the Stanley Barracks in the 1950's. "-Carl Benn, Ph.D., author of Historic Fort York, The Iroquois in the War of 1812, The War of 1812, and the Mohawks on the Nile. "Sendzikas takes us back to the days when Stanley Barracks was a bustling military centre, and shows us what it was like for the thousands of men and women who lived and trained there over the decades."-Jonathan F. Vance, Ph.D., professor and Canada research chair in Conflict and Culture, Department of History, University of Western Ontario.

Synopsis Toronto to 1918 by : J.M.S. Careless
At the beginning of 1793 Toronto was the gateway to a distant portage to the Upper Great Lakes, its permanent population a lone fur trader. One hundred and twenty-five years later it was a solid, vibrant metropolis, an industrial powerhouse supporting half a million residents. Toronto is a city built by its people, from the original colonial aristocracy of the Family Compact, to the masses of British and Irish migrants who forged its profound links with Empire, to the polyglot flow of international migration that would ultimately transform the city in the twentieth century. This book recounts their stories, and their stories are the history of Toronto's emergence as a world-class city. In Toronto to 1918, distinguished historian J.M.S. Careless expertly draws Toronto's stories together, creating an illuminating and entertaining portrait of the city. The text is complemented with more than 150 historical illustrations.

Synopsis Ghosts of the Canadian National Exhibition by : Richard Palmisano
The Canadian National Exhibition grounds are so richly steeped in history that there are spirits that dwell there who like to come out and play and work. When one thinks of Toronto’s Canadian National Exhibition, memories of bright lights, cotton candy, the rush of people, and the excitement of rides spring to mind. But when the lights go down and the people head home, the fairground takes on a life of its own. The spirits that dwell there from the exhibition’s long history come out to play and work, even to scare the occasional employee. The grounds and buildings of the CNE are so richly steeped in history that they are a magnificent storehouse of energy. This area has been in continuous use since before the 18th century, starting with Fort Rouille in 1750 and Fort York in 1793. From murders to accidents, it is no surprise that Exhibition Place is haunted. There are many reasons for spirits to dwell in that site, but it may be the joy and excitement that tempts them to linger. These spirits carried the pride and accomplishment of being part of something grand, something that will live on beyond them. That’s the true spirit of the Canadian National Exhibition.
