Family Without a Name
A Romance of the Rebellion of 1837 in Quebec
1982
NC Press Limited
Toronto
ISBN: 0-919601-86-3
(also see Canadian Jules Verne page)
Translated by Edward Baxter, Stratford, Ontario, Canada
This was a brand new translation of an important book about the history of Canada.
It is hardcover (red-maroon) with a dustjacket
 
My copy is autographed by the translator.
On reverse of Title page:
New Canada Publications, a division of NC Press Limited, Box 4010, Station A, Toronto, Ontario, M5W 1H8
The chapter heading and first 2 sentences of the book is:
"Historical Prelude
A Few Facts, A Few Dates
What a sorry sight the human race is," remarked the philosophers at the end of the eighteenth century, "cutting each other's throats for the sake of a few ice-covered acres of land." It was not their wisest observation, for they were referring to Canada, over which the British and French were then at war."
I am sorry to say that when I first saw this book, it was in a remainder bin at a one of our Canadian Book chainstores.
It is an excellent translation and does not deserve to be remaindered!!!
