Description: “In Their Own Words: Three Maritimers Experience the Great War” Edited by: Ross Hebb What was the First World War really like for Maritimers overseas? This epistolary book, edited by historian Ross Hebb, contains the letters home of three Maritimers with distinct wartime experiences: a front-line soldier from Nova Scotia, a nurse from New Brunswick, and a conscripted fisherman from Prince Edward Island. Up until now, these complete sets of handwritten letters have remained with the families, who agreed to share them in time for the one-hundredth anniversary of the Great War's end in 2018. These letters not only give insight into the war, but provide greater understanding of life in rural Maritime communities in the early 1900s. In Their Own Words includes a learned introduction and background information on letter writers Eugene A. Poole, Sister Pauline Balloch, and Herry Heckbert, enabling readers to appreciate the context of these letters and their importance. The book is a softcover, and is 256 pages long. It also has footnotes and a bibliography. It was published in Halifax in 2014. The book is used, but in very good condition -- no writing, no stains or soiling, no missing or torn pages, and a tight spine & clean cover. Top bidder should add $21.99 postage in Canada, or $25.99 postage to the USA. I have other similar books up now, so check them out too, and save on postage. Full refund if not happy, and thanks for looking!
