James H. Gray

The Boy From Winnipeg

Toronto: Macmillan of Canada, 1970. Hard bound, first edition, illustrated with line drawings by Myra Lowenthal, Pp204. Winnipeg Free Press clipping review of book dated Saturday, October 17, 1970 laid in at front. Very good in slightly edge torn near very good dust jacket. 460 grams. From the blurb on the inside of the dust jacket flap: Winnipeg during the era of the First World War: to James Gray there could have been no better time and no better place in which to grow up. All wround were the best of the new and the old - automobiles, airplanes, radio, moving pictures, horses by the hundred, delivery wagons, sleighs, and open streetcars. Crowded with people from Ontario and the Maritimes, the United States and the four corners of Europe, Winnipeg was bursting at the seams. It was a wide-open, free-wheeling city with an abundance of bars and brothels and other diversions to tempt the workman, the immigrant, and the visiting farmer (R, Menec note: and probably the businessman and well-to-do also). James Gray writes of these things, but most of all he writes of the delights of childhood, which with the boundless energy of a growing boy he experienced to the full. How many people have plalyed cops and robbers with a real-life murderer as the quarry? Or had a boy's-eye view of the First World War and seen the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike from the inside? Or thrilled at the sight of a horse-drawn fire engine? Or had their first automobile ride in a Packard Twin Six? Or discovered the key to an unlimited supply of ice cream courtesy of the public parks board? Life was not easy for the Gray family; they were often desperately poor. The father had lost an arm in an accident as a young man, and, when he did find a job he could manage, it ended only too often with one of his periodic drinking bouts. But to Jimmie Gray and his pals rich and poor had little meaning. They knew very few people who were better off; there was just us kids and other kids. This book is much more than an exercise in nostalgia; it is an affirmation of the author's belief in the resiliency of youth - today's as well as yesterday's. James Gray has not only written a warm, joyful, funny, and sometimes poignant account of an age that has passed; he has also made a valuable contribution to Canadian social history.
