This short microhistory details the life and death of Eddie McKay,
a varsity athlete at Western University, who flew with the Royal
Flying Corps in the First World War. Graham Broad switches
creatively from telling McKay's fascinating story to teaching
valuable lessons on how to do history: why the past matters, why
historians take different approaches, how to pose historical
questions, how to identify relevant source materials, and the
importance of thoughtful, intelligent, and respectful treatment of
historical subjects. The book includes a timeline of the subject's
life, a map of relevant combat areas in the Battle of the Somme,
and nine illustrations. It concludes with four unsolved events in
McKay's life: a mysterious woman, a strange advertisement for
batteries, an empty envelope, and an unknown grave-demonstrating
that even a detailed history about one person's life is never
really complete.
