About
"Once there was the mighty Niagara Courthouse and Gaol. Now, all that remains is an historic plaque. Built after Niagara was burned in 1813, "the finest building in Canada" housed thousands of desperate people between 1817-1920. Ten haunting tales of prisoners, paupers, rebels and traitors are shared by gifted storyteller, Sharon Frayne. She breathes life into the untold tales of Canada's Indigenous people, our first race riot, impoverished British orphans and Polish Soldiers training before heading to the battlegrounds of The Great War. Discover the compelling stories of people whose experiences shaped Canadian history. Angelique Pilotte, Solomon Moseby, Robert Gourlay, Benjamin Wait, William Lyon McKenzie, Maria Rye and the others who were caught between the walls of the now vanished building. About the Author: After a lengthy career as an educator, Sharon Frayne has assumed a full time writing and painting career in Niagara-on-the-Lake. She is a member of the Canadian Author’s Association and the Niagara Writer’s Circle. Her award winning stories have appeared in on line publications, local newspapers and in the Rising Spirits Anthology"--Publisher's website.
