| ANDERSON, MARJORIE (EDITOR); MACDONALD, ANN-MARIE (INTRODUCTION). Dropped Threads 3: Beyond The Small Circle. Vintage Canada, Toronto: 2006. Softcover. Very good condition. The thirty-five essays in Dropped Threads 3: Beyond the Small Circle focus on the theme of personal discoveries, what women have to tell and want to share with others. These women writee about family secrets, sexuality, rebellion, their own crevices of deep joy or regret; on being a late bloomer, finding connections to nature, to animals and to a tribe; on embracing forgiveness, kindness and new perspectives beyond the small circle of individual sight. The need to share these stories is rem arkable and in this latest collection, Marjorie Anderson has created a forum for Canadian women to discuss their experiences of growth and discovery, and they do so with honesty, insight and humour. Authors included are Margaret Atwood, June Callwood, Tracey Ann Coveart, Lorna Crozier, Andrea Curtis, Norma DePledge, Maggie De Vries, M. A. C. Farrant, Llane Faulder, Natalie Fingerhut, Lorri Neilsen Glenn, Marie-Lynn Hammond, Harriet Hart, Frances Itani, Melanie D. Janzen, Gillian Kerr, Chantal Kreviazuk, Silken Laumann, Jodi Lundgren, C.

| JOHNSTON, A. J. B. Endgame 1758: The Promiose, The Glory, And The Despair Of Louisbourg's Last Decade. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2008. Softcover. Brand new book. The story of what happened at the colonial fortified town of Louisbourg between 1749 and 1758 is one of the great dramas of the history of Canada, indeed North America. The French stronghold on Cape Breton Island, strategically situated near the entrance to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, was from soon after its founding a major possession in the quest for empire. The dramatic military and social history of this short-lived and significant fortress, seaport, and community, and the citizens who made it their home, are woven together in A. J. B. Johnston's gripping biography of the colony's final decade, presented from both French and British perspectives. Endgame 1758 is a tale of two empires in collision on the shores of mid-eighteenth-century Atlantic Canada, where rival European visions of predominance clashed headlong with each other and with the region's Aboriginal peoples. The magnitude of the struggle and of its uncertain outcome colored the lives of Louisbourg's inhabitants and the nearly thirty thousand combatants arrayed against it. The entire history comes to life in a tale of what turned out to be the first major British victory in the Seven Years' War. How and why the French colony ended the way it did, not just in June and July 1758, but over the decade that preceded the siege, is a little-known and compelling story. A. J. B. Johnston is a longtime historian with Parks Canada. He is the author of numerous books, including Storied Shores: St. Peter's, Isle Madame, and Chapel Island in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries; Control and Order: The Evolution of French Colonial Louisbourg, 1713-1758; and Life and Religion at Louisbourg, 1713-1758. For Johnston, a longtime historian with Parks Canada, Endgame 1758 is a fitting capstone to a career devoted to French colonial Louisbourg, and of all the author's books the one most obviously written with a cross-over audience in mind. The prose is often appropriately dramatic, and colourful individuals and narrative drive play a greater role than in Johnston's earlier work, which of necessity is more quantitative and analytical in nature.ÑPhilip Girard, Literary Review of Canada Based on exhaustive and meticulous research in French, British and British and French colonial records, [Endgame 1758] successfully places the events leading to the fall of Louisbourg within the mid-18th-century Atlantic world. Johnston uses his well-sustained chess metaphor to carefully reconstruct the movement of opposing fleets, military strategies and engagements that form the central focus of the monograph. . . . While offering a wealth of rich detail about the naval and military engagements that led to the final defeat of Louisbourg as well as the social and commercial aspects of life in the fortified town, it is a highly readable book.ÑCanadian Historical Association Johnston makes full use of the array of new and older resources in his Endgame 1758. In a well written, balanced, and researched analysis, he puts that campaign in a historic, cultural, and strategic context. . . . A very welcome and needed addition to the literature on the French and Indian War.ÑWilliam Nester, Journal of Military History Johnston's excellent research reveals much about this isolated outpost that was so crucial to the leaders of Europe's most powerful countries for the duration of this one eventful decade.ÑDavid T. Flaherty, American Review of Canadian Studies Endgame is the most important work done on Louisbourg by the historian best placed to do it. This is a great contribution to the field of colonial studies and superb military history. It is an outstanding work.ÑWilliam Newbigging, associate professor of history and chair of the Department of History at Algoma University College Endgame is a masterful book. Johnston demonstrates that the 1758 siege of Louisbourg was a critical turning point in the Seven Years' War, paving the way for the loss of Quebec and events that then led directly to the American Revolution. In 23 years at Louisbourg, Johnston has put Louisbourg scholarship on the World Stage.ÑKenneth Donovan, historian, Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site of Canada 2008 Dartmouth Book Award for Non-fiction Nominee. 2008 Clio Award, sponsored by the Canadian Historical Association, Atlantic region winner. ¶ 382 pages.
