Commencing in 1875, more than 30 newspapers have been published in Fort William and Port Arthur in Thunder Bay District at the head of Lake Superior. This book represents an invaluable and rare contribution to the history of news media in Canada. It is almost a paradox that Canada's most powerful news medium..has had so little to say about itself throughout the years." - from forward. Average wear, sound binding.

8vo., First Edition, on laid paper, some very light occasional spotting; original red cloth, gilt back, a very good, clean copy. A minor classic of WWI literature. 'The author of this diary [Captain D H Bell] was a serving territorial when war broke out and was in France with his Battalion by November. He got a commission in 1915, was twice wounded, transferred in 1916 to the Royal Flying Corps, 'crashed' in France and finished he service as a Flight Commander training observers at home. His diary is one of the most vivid that has appeared, and shows its writer to be a gallant and likeable character. Mr. Henry Williamson contributes an introduction, so different in spirit to the journal that an introduction from him seems hardly worth while from the anonymous author's point of view' (Falls). Williamson also prepared the text for publication dated 28 December 1929. Williamson's introduction was reprinted in 'Threnos for T E Lawrence', published by the HW Society in 1994. Falls, p.176; Matthews, B1929.
