Millionaires, Doctors, Aboriginal Heroes, and Stars of Stage and Screen - Pretenders All

Canadian imposters, the roles they played, their true identities and what drove them to masquerade
From Canadian history come the stories of imposters. Meet the cross-dressing Isabel Gunn, disguised as fur-trapping "John Hubbisher." Read about a woman who posed successfully as Dr. James Barry, surgeon and early women's rights advocate. Follow the astonishing life of Archie Belaney, who convinced millions of people that he was Grey Owl, a First Nations conservationist. These are just three of the many scammers, double agents, and con artists in this fascinating collection.
