By Komar, Debra2019., Dundurn Call No: IND 364.1523 K75c Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "In 1921, the RCMP arrested two Copper Inuit men under suspicion that the two had murdered their uncle. Both men confessed to the crime through a police interpreter, though the "confession" was highly questionable. The Canadian government used the case to plant their flag in the north, but the trial quickly became a master class in judicial error. Correspondence among the key players reveals that the trial's outcome was decided months before the court was even convened. Authorities were so certain of a conviction that the executioner and gallows were sent north before the trial began. The precedent established Canada's legal relationship with the Inuit, who would spend the next seventy-seven years fighting to regain their autonomy and Indigenous rule of law. Drawing on documents long buried in restricted files in the National Archives, The Court of Better Fiction reveals the disgraceful incident and its fallout in unprecedented detail."--.

-- From the Klondike to Berlin :2017., Adult, Lost Moose Call No: 940.37 G259f Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Nearly a thousand Yukoners, a quarter of the population, enlisted before the end of the Great War. They were lawyers, bankers, piano tuners, dockworkers and miners who became soldiers, nurses and snipers; brave men and women who traded the isolated beauty of the north for the muddy, crowded horror of the battlefields. Those who stayed home were no less important to the war's outcome--by March of 1916, the Dawson Daily News estimated that Yukoners had donated often and generously at a rate of $12 per capita compared to the dollar per person donated elsewhere in the country. Historian Michael Gates tells us the stories of both those who left and those on the home front, including the adventures of Joe Boyle, who successfully escorted the Romanian crown jewels on a 1,300-kilometre journey through Russia in spite of robbers, ambushes, gunfire, explosions, fuel shortages and barricades. Gates also recounts the home-front efforts of Martha Black, who raised thousands of dollars and eventually travelled to Europe where she acted as an advocate for the Yukon boys. Stories of these heroes and many others are vividly recounted with impeccable research."--

-- Murder of Krystal Senyk.2023., Adult, Hamish Hamilton Canada Call No: NEW QWF 364.152 R649n Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: A propulsive true-crime story that exposes the deep cracks in a system that repeatedly fails to protect women, while tracking the once-cold trail of a murderer still at large. Krystal Senyk was the kind of friend everybody wants: a reliable confidant, a handywoman of all trades, and an infectious creative with an adventurous spirit. Most importantly, she was tough as nails. So when her friend, Lynn, needed help escaping her abusive husband, Ronald Bax, Krystal leapt into action to protect her. But soon Krystal became the new outlet for Bax's rage. He terrorized and intimidated her for months on end, and finally issued a chilling warning: the hunt is on. Krystal was scared but she was smart: she reached out to the RCMP for a police escort home, in case the threat was real. To her shock, the officer brushed her off. Bax's threat had been all too real. He was waiting for Krystal when she walked through her front door that evening. At 29 years old, the woman who seemed invincible - who was a beloved sister, daughter, and friend - was shot and killed in the house she built herself in the Yukon. Ronald Bax disappeared without a trace. Nearly three decades later, Eliza Robertson has re-opened the case. In compelling, vibrant prose, Robertson works tirelessly to piece together Krystal's story, retracing the dire failings of Canadian law enforcement and Bax's last steps. She speaks to those closest to Krystal, and also those closest to her killer - determined to bring him, and the system that failed her, to justice. I Got a Name uses one woman's tragic story to boldly interrogate themes of violence against women and the pervasive issues that plague our society. In this riveting true-crime story about victimhood, power, and control, Robertson examines the broken system in place, and asks: if it isn't looking out for the vulnerable, the threatened, the hunted - who among us is it protecting?
