Title: Good biography of Little Mac
Product review: This book is part of the "Canadian Lives" series published by Oxford University Press, which, while a suitable biography for anyone wishing to learn more about William Lyon MacKenzie, seems to be geared towards high school students. As MacKenzie is most famous for his political agitations and leading role in the 1837 rebellion in Upper Canada, much of the book deals with his life leading up to the latter event. The author draws on a number of contemporary sources--including MacKenzie's own writings--and quotes from them regularly. Also included are a number of illustrations of key persons, places, and events, as well as several facsimiles, including that of MacKenzie's "Independence!" handbill. Overall, a good biography.
