Summary:
"
Frederick
Walker
"
Casey
" Baldwin--athlete, engineer, aeronaut, sailor, politician, activist, conservationist--was a true
gentleman
, modest to a fault. As one of
Alexander
Graham
Bell
's young associates,
Casey
was the first
Canadian
, and the first born in the British Empire, to fly--a full eleven months before the historic 1909 flight in Baddeck of the Silver Dart.
Casey
became the son Alec and Mabel
Bell
never had. Dr.
Bell
described him as "quite a
genius
...the best blood of Canada." Gleaned from hundreds of pieces of heretofore unseen
Baldwin
correspondence,
Casey
is the
untold
story
of true
genius
, epic accomplishments, and the stunning failure by Canada to seize upon and recognize those achievements. With this biography, author John Langley gives honour where honour is due. Includes over 30 black and white images and a foreword by
Casey
's grandson, Sean
Baldwin
