About This Item
Eganville, Ontario, Canada: Silent Praise, 2000. Probable First. Trade Paperback. Very Good +/No Jacket. 119 p.; VG+; glossy tradepaper, clean, bright, unmarked. How did a small Ontario town come to be named for a Mexican statesman/diplomat? Sports historian Frank Cosentino, who previously wrote about James Naismith and Robert Tait Mackenzie of Almonte (Brothers of the Wind), became fascinated by this question. His research took him from southern Ontario to Texas, and this book covers both the life and career of Juan Nepomuceno Almonte and a brief history of his namesake town. An intriguiing look at a little-known slice of Mexican and Canadian history and an unlikely linkage. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
