Passionate about truth in history, seeking outlet to write on topics too small or not yet formulated enough for inclusion in a book.
Tom Monto is the author of Old Strathcona Edmonton's Southside Roots and the recently-published book on Alberta politics Protest and Progress, Three Labour Radicals in Early Edmonton, outlining the life (lives) and times of farm leader Rice Sheppard, reformer/teacher Harry Ainlay and lawyer/``troublemaker`` Margaret Crang. Another recent publication is A Brief History of Alberta Politics, emphasizing the province's progressive politics pre-WWII/Big Oil.
(These books, and many others, are available at Alhambra Books, Edmonton, Alberta or through abebooks.com)
Just learning about blogging so bear with me, but hoping to acquire readers interested in the underside of history and how it is presented, rightly and wrongly. My view is history can be taken as a parable reflecting on today`s events. But also I am reminded of whoever it was who said ``History is not dead - it is not even past.` Whoever it was I agree, and I hope to help you see it that way too
