[From back cover] Following up their popular London Street Names, Michael Baker and Hilary Bates Neary present in this book stories from the lives of more than 100 people, both the influential and the infamous, who have lived near the forks of the Thames from before the city?s founding to recent days. Among them are individuals who will take you to the penal colony of Van Diemen?s Land; to Selma, Alabama, to march alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; to home plate in the 1909 World Series; to the trenches of worn-torn France; into the bed chambers of mysteriously burgled Londoners; and even to the banks of the river Tay, for the last fatal duel in Canada. Representing professions and avocations ranging from architect to zoologist, the cast of characters includes the venerable and the villainous, community leaders and curious minds, artists and entrepreneurs, visionaries and spies, and even a world-famous dance band. They all share London as their one-time home or final resting place. 100 Fascinating Londoners draws on the research of more than 50 enthusiastic researchers and local historians who share their knowledge of London?s past. The result is a biographical banquet that offers an entertaining and informative introduction to the city?s history and to the wide array of characters who once called London home. MICHAEL BAKER is the Regional History Curator at Museum London and the editor of Downtown London: Layers of Time. HILARY BATES NEARY is a writer and researcher on Ontario local history and chair of the Historic Sites Committee of the London Public Library Board. Their first collaboration was as co-editors of the popular London Street Names.…
