- 1934 : the Chatham Coloured All-Stars' barrier-breaking year / by Jacobs, Heidi L. M.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The true story of the first Black team to win an Ontario Baseball Amateur Association championship. The pride of Chatham's East End, the Coloured All-Stars featured a roster of players who drew fans to the field with their high energy, no holds-barred style of play while they confronted challenges both on and off the field. Drawing heavily on scrapbooks, newspaper accounts, and oral histories from members of the team and their families, 1934: The Chatham Coloured All-Stars' Barrier-Breaking Year tells the story of the first Black team to win an Ontario Baseball Amateur Association championship. More than a baseball story, this is a book about a neighbourhood, its citizens, and their pride in an astonishing team. Until recently, this vital story of Canada's racial history and the team's indefatigable spirit was preserved only in family stories, scrapbooks, and ephemera. 1934 introduces readers to these players and to the people who have worked to preserve and celebrate their legacy."--- Subjects: Chatham Coloured All-Stars (Baseball team); Baseball players, Black; Baseball teams; Baseball;

- Cheated : the Laurier Liberals and the theft of First Nations reserve land / by Waiser, Bill,1953-author.; Hansen, Jennie(Historian),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."You won't find the Ocean Man and Pheasant Rump reserves on a map of southeastern Saskatchewan. In 1901, the two Nakoda bands reluctantly surrendered the 70 square miles granted to them under treaty. It's just one of more than two dozen surrenders aggressively pursued by the Laurier Liberal government over a 15-year period. One in five acres was taken from First Nations. This confiscation was justified on the grounds that prairie bands had too much land and that it would be better used by white settlers. In reality, the surrendered land was largely scooped up by Liberal speculators--including three senior civil servants and a Liberal cabinet minister--and flipped for a tidy profit. None were held to account. Cheated is a gripping story of single-minded politicians, uncompromising Indian Affairs officials, grasping government appointees, and well-connected Liberal speculators, set against a backdrop of politics, power, patronage, and profit. The Laurier government's settlement of western Canada can never be looked at the same way again."--- Subjects: Land settlement; First Nations reservations; First Nations; First Nations; First Nations;
