SUMMARY:CBHA Talk: Professor Brian Gettler\, "Unmaking the Made Beaver: Money and Monopoly in the Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Fur Trade"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Brian Gettler\, “Unmaking the Made Beaver: Money and Monopoly in the Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Fur Trade” \nBrian Gettler is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Toronto. \nHis several articles and book chapters focus on the political and socioeconomic history of colonialism in Quebec and Canada. Brian’s new book\, Colonialism’s Currency: Money\, State\, and First Nations in Canada\, 1820-1950\, analyzes the distinct experiences of three First Nations alongside the monetary dimensions of British and Canadian Indian policy and corporate policy in the fur trade. Rather than focusing on the perhaps obvious ways in which wealth shaped politics\, it concentrates on money as both a symbol around which discourses of appropriate behaviour were articulated and as a concrete tool in the governance of peoples and lands. \nHis current research explores public finance and Crown-First Nations fiscal relations as well as Indigenous participation in the credit economy of the St. Lawrence Valley\, both in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. \nAttendees will need to register to attend. Participants can attend the AGM and/or the CBHA/ACHA Talks presentation. All registered participants will be given login information on January 19th.

SUMMARY:Kingston Historical Society Presents Dr. Tim Cook: "Forgetting\, Remembering and Remaking Canada's Second World War"
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, best-selling author Tim Cook will talk about his book\, The Fight for History\, and will discuss the strange way that Canada chose to ignore for decades its epic contributions during the Second World War. Despite 1.1 million Canadians who served in uniform\, and millions more who supported the total war effort from the home front\, Canada rapidly left the war behind\, publishing few histories\, building fewer monuments\, and advancing into the prosperous second half of the twentieth century\, Dr. Cook will talk about the neglect of our Second World War history until quite recently\, and highlight the key role of veterans in reclaiming this important legacy of service and sacrifice. \nDr. Cook is the acting director of historical research at the Canadian War Museum. He was the curator of the museum’s First World War permanent gallery and he has curated numerous temporary\, travelling and digital exhibitions. Cook is the author or editor of 13 books and they have won the C.P. Stacey Prize for Military History (twice)\, the Ottawa Book Prize (three times)\, the RBC Taylor Prize for Literary Non-Fiction\, and the L.W. Dafoe Book Prize (twice). In 2012\, Dr. Cook was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contributions to Canadian history and in 2013 the Governor-General’s History Prize. He is a frequent commentator in the media\, a member of the Royal Society of Canada\, and a Member of the Order of Canada. \nTo register\, and to receive all the details of how to connect\, please email Paul van Nest at pvannest@cogeco.ca.

SUMMARY:Catharine Parr Traill on Enjoying and Surviving a Canadian Winter
DESCRIPTION:Catharine Parr Traill’s genteel life in England did not prepare her at all for life on the frontier in Ontario in the mid-1800s. But one of the ways she found to support her family in her new world was to write about her experience for other immigrants. Her writings both public and private deal with the many joys and tribulations of the wintery backwoods in early Canada. \nTraill had practical advice for her readers\, from maintaining a yeast supply to choosing a parlour stove to sewing a warm cloak. She revealed much about bottling\, pickling\, smoking and hunting foods for the mid-nineteenth century pantry\, then making winter meals. Her how-to advice benefited many immigrants unprepared for the cold and ice\, as she had been once unprepared\, but she also came to love the sparkling snow in her Canadian wilderness. \nFiona Lucas\, who with Nathalie Cooke\, co-edited Catharine Parr Traill’s Female Emigrant’s Guide: Cooking with a Canadian Classic (2017)\, speaks knowledgeably and entertainingly on Traill’s experience and writings. Her half hour presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.
