The First World War profoundly affected every community in Canada. In Regina, the politics of national identity, the rural myth, and the social gospel all lent a distinctive flavour to the city's experience of the Great War. For many Reginans, the fight against German militarism merged with the struggle against social evils and the "Big Interests," adding new momentum to the forces of social reform, including the fights for prohibition and women's suffrage.James M. Pitsula traces these social movements against the background of the lives of Regina men who fought overseas in battles such as Passchendaele and Vimy Ridge. Skillfully combining vivid detail with the larger social context, For All We Have and Are provides a nuanced picture of how one Canadian community rebuilt both its realities and myths in response to the cataclysm of the "war to end all wars."

From Model Ts to the information highways, box socials to virtual reality, our prairie past is in danger of obliteration because the speed of change from one generation to the next. In O Little Town, Harlo Jones combines youthful innocence and wonder with adult awareness and insight to create a work of witness, chronicling small-town life as seen by a child int eh 1920s and ’30s. He recalls the characters universal to this place in time, from the lonely Chinese immigrant to the mysterious “remittance man,” as well as teachers, friends, and even the family dogs. But he also moves beyond characters to describe the social, religious, educational and commercial institutions of a prairie town with affection and accuracy. Through Harlo Jones’ eyes, we explore the prairie landscape from coulee to slough; watch the construction of the first buildings, with basements dug by fresnos, and walls insulated with wood shavings; and peer inside village landmarks, from that “most excellent of jakes” with the knothole that turned the structure into a giant pinhole camera, to his father’s garage, scene of many semi-official town-hall meetings. We learn how the town’s electrical system worked, during what hours, and why, and discover the dedication of the volunteer fire department, where the men pulled the engines while the horses hauled the water tanks. We explore the town and come to know it with the author as he grows from a boy hunting gophers to a young man newly enlisted as a pilot, leaving the familiar behind as he departs for service overseas. O Little Town is much more than one man’s story of childhood. Harlo Jones’ perceptive recollections evoke a sharp picture of village life, enabling those who shared that time with him to remember it anew; and allowing others a glimpse of a past come vividly alive with colourful detail, humour and poignancy.
