He was also a Canadian hero twice over, as captain of the first Toronto team to win the Stanley Cup and as a volunteer soldier who fought bravely in the First World War. Yet most Canadians do not know his name, and those who do are unlikely to know his true story. As Matthew Walthert discovered while working on this first major biography of Davidson, most previous accounts, especially of his death on the Western Front, are riddled with myths and errors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWalthert has scoured the archives, tracked down living relatives, and travelled to battlefields in France and Belgium to uncover the authentic story of Scotty Davidson's life and death. He vividly portrays the winger's on-ice brilliance in hockey's rough-and-tumble early days, and sorts fact from fiction in Davidson's final moments, with a narrative as authoritative as it is compulsively readable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Walthert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1997701251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781997701255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sutherland House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.11h x 6.01w x 0.91d","brand":"Matthew Walthert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50665004695807,"sku":"9781997701255","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scotty-davidson-matthew-walthert-9781997701255","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
