Another Country, Another Life
James Boyer's impressive life story - editor of the first newspaper in Ontario's northern districts, homesteading farmer, schoolteacher, town clerk of Bracebridge for decades, Methodist choir director, Muskoka district magistrate from 1878 to 1900 - is well documented in books and newspaper features. Behind his noteworthy Canadian life, however, lurked the haunting shadow of another. Isaac Jelfs, a young English clerk, became scapegoat for a Stratford law office scandal. In Birmingham the desperate Jelfs married, believing the older woman was pregnant by him. Unemployed, he tried to start over as a soldier with the Dragoon Guards in the Crimean War. As a deserter who escaped that mad slaughter to New York, he joined a major Broadway Avenue firm, fell in love with another woman, and fled to Canada with her and their love child to begin yet another new life, this time as Muskoka pioneer "James Boyer."

As I Recall
As I Recall is the memoirs of Don Ewing of Guelph, Canada, an active supporter of the social democratic movement for more than 65 years. He has been an important contributor to Canadian life and to Canadian social history. His passion for inclusivity and social justice led him to buck society's pressures to be a conscientious objector in the Second World War, doing fire fighting and teaching high school in a Japanese internment camp in Lemon Creek. The book contains many photographs and personal reminiscences on the life and growth of the social democratic process in Canada, his music teaching, and his life in the United Church
