The reader of author Ian V. Macdonald's book, "Ottawa - The Golden Years", will take the proverbial "walk down Memory Lane" when opening up his incredibly awesome "Victorian Album", a historical treasure. Ian V. Macdonald takes the reader back into history through the pages of the STAR WEEKLY to that world conflagration euphemistically known as "...the Good War..." The author's retrospective analysis of the Star's reporting is done with an objective clarity sadly lacking in modern journalistic and academic circles. After reading Mr. Macdonald's book the reader will be motivated to learn more about true history and how the past is truly a prologue for what is happening in today's troubled world.

The Queen wishes me to thank you for this remarkable album ‘Ottawa - The Golden Years'. I am to tell you that this volume, with the collection of memorabilia which you have collated, will become a welcome addition to the Library as a pictorial reflection of this period of history.
