The Kratz Family History
John Valentine Kratz (1707-1780) emigrated from Germany to America on the ship "Friendship" in 1727, settling in Salford Township, Philadel phia (now Montgomery) County, Pennsylvania. He was married to Ann Clemens, by whom he had nine children. Many descendants of this large Mennonite family remained in Pennsylvania, while others migrated to Canada or moved into many other of the United States.
China Gadabouts
The Sino-Japanese War (1937–45) had a devastating impact on China’s civilian population. Braving bandits, disease, and dangerous roads, the China Convoy – a Quaker-sponsored humanitarian unit – delivered medical supplies and provided famine relief in the unoccupied territory of “Free China” and later to both sides in the ensuing civil war.

The Unexpected Louis St-Laurent
Much of Canada’s modern identity emerged from the innovative social policies and ambitious foreign policy of Louis St-Laurent’s Liberal government.

Yet St-Laurent remains an enigmatic figure. Contributors to The Unexpected Louis St-Laurent assess the degree to which he set the policy agenda. They explore the features of his personality that made him effective (or sometimes less so), the changes he wrought on the state apparatus and federal-provincial relations, and the substance of his government’s policies. This wide-ranging collection fills a great void in Canadian political history, bringing together seasoned professionals and new scholars to investigate the far-reaching influence of a politician whose astute policies and bold resolve moved Canada into the modern era.
