Marty Gervais – författare

Windsor Ontario is a border town made up of five communities. Marty Gervais takes the reader on a narrative walking tour of Ford City, Riverside, Walkerville, Windsor, and Sandwich. Along the way, tales of aboriginal curses, rum-running, riots, union-busting, horse-racing nuns, lethal lightning strikes, and murderous ministers abound.

My Town brings together more than 70 snapshots of the people and places that have called Windsor home. More than this, they have made Windsor, for better and for worse, the city it is today. Some of these faces you will recognize; others will have slipped beneath the radar. Marty has sought them out and made their stories his own.

A 10,000 copy seller in Canada, The Rumrunners offers a photographic history of the regular men and women who smuggled Canadian liquor to the United States during the roaring '20s. Essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Prohibition.
