Strange Fatalities
Book Launch
at
Dundurn Castle National Historic Site
610 York Boulevard, Hamilton, Ontario
The launch of Strange Fatality was
a rousing success with an overflow crowd of nearly 200
jamming the Coach House at Dundurn Castle on the evening
of 28 May. Re-enactors portraying the 16th US Infantry
and the Royal Newfoundland Fencibles provided a period
backdrop for the proceedings, Hamilton councilor and CHML
radio personality Bob Bratina handled the introduction
and author James Elliott spoke of his determination to
animate and honour the rank and file of both sides who
fell in the battle before reading a chapter from Strange
Fatality and signing copies of the book.
