Editor's review

This file is essentially a catalog index, summarizing the William Wood entries already available in the Project Gutenberg, rather than the text of any single work. Its value lies in offering researchers and general readers a clear entry point: to engage systematically with this author, one can first use this index to learn how his works are distributed in the Project Gutenberg, then download the original texts accordingly. The index also notes language, classification numbers, and release dates, providing basic bibliographic retrieval functions. Note that it does not serve as reading content; it is more like a map than a destination. It is suitable as a starting point for organizing literature or for understanding how early e-book projects were cataloged. If you expect Wood's own historical narratives or literary texts, consult the specific titles the index points to.

FAQ

Does this index contain the specific content of William Wood's works?

No. It is only a summary of William Wood entries in the Project Gutenberg, listing titles, languages, classification numbers, and release dates; the texts themselves must be downloaded separately as corresponding e-books.

Is it suitable for understanding Canadian local history?

Only as a retrieval entry point. The index itself provides no historical narrative, but its classification numbers relate to North American local history, which can lead you to relevant works and then to the original texts for substantive content.

Why was this file published separately?

The Project Gutenberg compiles indexes of works for prolific authors so that readers can find multiple entries by the same author in one place; it is an auxiliary file for cataloging and navigation.

This site is an index: you start “Search all sources” in your browser, and the entries it lists all point to third-party sites; please judge their availability yourself.

About the author

Wood, William, 1864-1947 Author

William Wood (1864–1947) was an author known for popular chronicles of military and imperial history; details of his life are limited in publicly available sources. Thirteen of his works are held in this collection, most of them chronicles in series format, centered on the Anglo-French struggle for colonial North America, the War of 1812, the American Civil War, and British naval and maritime activity. Representative works include Elizabethan Sea-Dogs, on Drake and his companions; The Winning of Canada, on Wolfe; Captains of the Civil War, on the Blue and Gray commanders; and chronicles dealing with Carleton, Montcalm, the fortress of Louisbourg, and the founding of Canada. His method combines events with portraits of figures, in plain and compact prose that helps general readers follow the course of campaigns and imperial expansion, giving the books a measure of popular value.
