Descripción

Dust jacket is missing a piece from the top of the spine edge, name and small spot on front end page. Inscribed on title page "To Bill, Best Wishes Len Taylor". 6 X 9.5" 394 pages. Illustrated by gkossy black/white vintage photographs. Joe Boyle (1867 - 1923) led many lives - sailor, sports promoter, entrepreneur, diplomat, soldier, spy, and he crossed paths with a remarkable range of characters. He was the King of the Klondike and the Saviour of Rumania, a man of vision, courage and determination and surely one of the most fascinating figures ever to stride through Canada's past. Author Len Taylor, like Joe Boyle, was raised in Woodstock, Ontario. Using new material from the Boyle family archives never published before, Taylor recreates in colourful detail the exciting life of one of the last international heroes.
