Download or read book Ottawa An Illustrated History written by John H. Taylor and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 1986 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bytown's early years - as military outpost and lumber town - did not presage greatness. Yet this rough little town (renamed Ottawa in 1855) did not remain insignificant, for geography and politics soon combined to place it at centrestage as Canada's national capital. Ottawa's fascinating story is recounted with skill and wit in John H. Taylor's Ottawa: An Illustrated History. Taylor tells this story in all its variations - the life of the French and the English, the poor and the rich; the politics of city hall and Parliament Hill; the social lives of Ottawans. Crisp and colourful, Ottawa: An Illustrated History focuses on the history of the city's relationship with its landlord - the federal government - but it also does more. It weaves together, for the first time, all the complex strands that over the years have shaped Ottawa's identity. Ottawa: An Illustrated History is handsomely illustrated by 150 historical photographs and by a dozen original maps depicting the city's geographical evolution.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Edmond Logan was born in Montreal, April 20,1798; completed one year at Edinburgh University, taking courses in mathematics, chemistry, & logic; worked in London for his uncle as bookkeeper and manager; in 1831, moved to Swansea Wales as manager of a copper smelting & coal production; did precise geological mapping of the south Wales coal basin to establish reserves; in 1842, appointed Director and Founder of the Geological Survey of Canada; with a few assistants, mapped Canada East and Canada West from Gaspe to Lake Superior; in 1851, 1855, and 1862 organized displays of Canadian rocks & minerals for International Exhibitions in London and Paris; in January 1856, Queen Victoria conferred knighthood, the first native born Canadian so honoured; in 1863, published a 983 page volume, the GEOLOGY OF CANADA, along with an atlas of geologic maps; in 1869, published a large geologic map about two and half by one metre, covering the area from Newfoundland to Manitoba, & the United States bordering the Great Lakes, from Maine to Kansas; in November 1869, relinquished the GSC directorship; died June 22, 1875, at Llechryd, Wales with burial at Cilgerran Wales, with the grave becoming 'unknown' being covered with lichens and moss. The biography by Harrington (1883) is rare, found only in professional & university libraries, generally not available to the public. So why this anthology of published papers by seven authors including Logan himself? In 1998, Sir William Logan was selected as the most important scientist in Canadian history. In 2000, headlines were made when the government proposed replacing his name on Canada's highest mountain in the Yukon. The public protested; the proposal was withdrawn. Logan's name is on numerous geographic & geologic features from offshore Nova Scotia near Sable Island to the Queen Charlotte Islands off British Columbia. In 2004, the CBC searched for the most important Canadians in a historic context, Logan's name is on the list.
