Double Trap The Last Public Hanging in Canada

"Early this fall, my book, Double Trap will be published by the Dundurn Group. The volume will correct the erroneous and often-repeated claim that one Patrick James Whelan was the last person publicly executed. He was not. Nicholas Melady was hanged before a crowd at the Goderich Gaol on December 7, 1869, several months after Whelan. And even though I am not particularly proud of the fact, Melady was one of my more infamous relatives."- John Melady, Toronto Star, letter to the editor, May 25, 2005Melady, John is the author of 'Double Trap The Last Public Hanging in Canada', published 2005 under ISBN 9781550025712 and ISBN 1550025716.
