Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annals of the Town of Guelph: 1827 to 1877 In the preparation of this little work, the object has been to give, as succintly as possible, a general outline of the history of the Town of Guelph, with some reference to the principal events which have, during the titty years of its existence, absorbed the public attention. That many matters, which might be of interest to some of the older resi dents, have been omitted, will be seen at a glance; but this has been done for what were considered, after careful reflection, to be good and sufficient reasons. In the earlier years of the settlement, as is the case in all newly settled districts, many things occurred which, under more favorable circumstances, could not have happened, and which, while they formed fertile themes of gossip at the time, it would serve no good pur pose to reproduce now, even if all that is said to have taken place could be substantiated, which is far from being the case. In fact, so con tradictory are the recollections of some of the early settlers with regard to many alleged events, more especially in reference to matters of a pri vate and personal nature, that it was felt to be the wiser plan to reject the great bulk of these traditions, and to adhere to what could be reasonably relied upon as being the truth. Had even this been all made use of, the work would have grown to at least ten times its present size, and would, probably, not have given so much satisfaction as it is hoped will be afforded now. On the other hand, there may be, and doubtless, are some things omitted more worthy of notice than many of the events referred to, and for this defect it is hoped the reader will show some in dulgence, in consideration of the great difficulty which attends the glean ing of information relating: to times so long past, when few or no records were kept of even public proceedings. All that persevering effort and discriminating research could do to make the work reliable, has been done, and though some may feel disposed harshly to criticise it, the gen eral public, it is hoped, will extend to it a generous reception.

Excerpt: ... in the management appeared to be bent on a policy of " masterly inactivity," doing nothing which could by any means be postponed till the future, the consequence being that money was scarce and a general depression brooded over the entire settlement. Among the works which was forced upon them, in self-defence, was the completion of the grist mill, which Mr. Galt had commenced; for, without it, the hold the Company had on the farmers, as their bankers and general agents for the sale of their produce, and for almost every other communication with the outsice world, would pass into other hands. Accordingly they set to work, in a dilatory, half-earnest sort of a way, to get the mill into running order. Mr. Strickland, who was then at Goderich, was instructed to engage a miller who had come there--an American, and said to be characteristically shrewd and cunning--with whom he started for Guelph in the Spring, but there is no record of h1s having arrived, or if he did, of his having worked at the mill, for the builder and practical miller was Horace Perry, of Port Hope. The building was a substantial frame structure, containing every appliance for gristing, with three run of stones and ample store-rooms. In a short time the premises passed into the hands of Mr. James Allan, father of Mr. David Allan, the late owner, who from time to time made additions, until, in course of time, the frame was taken down to make room for the present stone buildings, and removed to a farm on the York Road, where it still stands, being used as a barn. When Mr. Allan purchased the mill, he put in another run of stones, making four runs in all, three of which were used for gristing and one for chopping. In 1835 he built a distillery in connection with the mill, and...

Download or read book The Canada Company and the Huron Tract 1826 1853 written by Robert C. Lee and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2004-08-20 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canada Company was responsible for the opening and settling of over two million acres of land in Upper Canada. Author Robert C. Lee focuses his attention on the extensive parcel of land on the shores of Lake Huron that became known as the Huron Tract. His comprehensive research explores the underlying forces leading to the formation of the Company, the intriguing mix of people charged with responsibilities for the Company and the overall impact of its operations, leading to its present-day legacy. The politics of the day, coupled with diverse and colourful personalities -- such as John Galt, Tiger Dunlop, William Allan, Thomas Mercer Jones, Frederick Widder, Sir Peregrine Maitland, Bishop Macdonnell and Bishop Strachan -- introduce an interesting blend of vision, intrigue, mischief and day-to-day survival strategies that make for compelling reading. Add to this the shareholders’ perspective of the Company versus the settlers’ perspective and you have a fascinating glimpse of pioneer conditions. Included are descriptions of early towns such as Guelph and Goderich, as well as background on the Huron Tract township names. "Robert Lee's outstanding book brings to life the unusual assemblage of characters who were instrumental in the development of Upper Canada's largest private settlement scheme -- the Huron Tract. Their relationships with each other, and especially with the Canada Company for which many of them worked, make a great story." - Lutzen Riedstra, Stratford-Perth Archivist "Robert Lee has vividly recreated the personalities and the political intrigues that were part of the Canada Company's operation -- the largest one of its type in Ontario's history. The most comprehensive work to date on this fascinating era, this book is eminently readable and a must-have for history lovers. - Ron Brown, author of Ghost Towns of Ontario

Download or read book The Desperate Ones written by Edward Butts and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2006-04-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short-listed for the 2007 Arthur Ellis Award for Best Non-Fiction They were among Canada’s most desperate criminals, yet their names have been all but forgotten in the annals of history - until now! In their day these lawless men made headline news. Author Ed Butts has rescued their stories from dusty newspaper pages and polished them up for today’s readers in this fascinating volume. The Markham Gang introduced Canada West to organized crime long before anyone had heard of the Mafia. Lew Bevis took on the whole Halifax Police Department in a blazing gun battle. The wild Macdonald cousins went to Michigan, where they ended their violent careers as victims of a savage lynching. Reid and Davis, the notorious Border Bandits of the Roaring Twenties, were the nightmare of every banker from Manitoba to the state of Washington. This rogues’ gallery of killers, robbers, and men of mystery shocked the nation, challenged the forces of law and order, and sometimes even got away with it.

Download or read book Spatial Evolution of Manufacturing written by James M. Gilmour and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1972-12-15 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europeans who settled previously unpopulated and unexploited regions of the world during the 18th and 19th centuries of the world had two economic alternatives: subsistence activities or the production of primary goods for export. In general the latter prevailed and the landscape and economy were transformed. This study examines industrial growth in Southern Ontario, one of the most economically successful regions, from 1851-1891, a period when primary activities were still very important but also when today's industrial structure was clearly being shaped. Economists, geographers, and those in related fields will welcome this approach which unites regional economic growth theory, and an empirical examination of distributional and structural change in manufacturing, in a general explanation of the spatial development of manufacturing that is relevant to all export-based regions.

Download or read book Ontario Beer written by Alan McLeod and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beer historians and writers Alan McLeod and Jordan St. John have tapped the cask of Ontario brewing to bring the complete story to light, from foam to dregs. Ontario boasts a potent mix of brewing traditions. Wherever Europeans explored, battled, and settled, beer was not far behind, which brought the simple magic of brewing to Ontario in the 1670s. Early Hudson's Bay Company traders brewed in Canada's Arctic, and Loyalist refugees brought the craft north in the 1780s. Early 1900s temperance activists drove the industry largely underground but couldn't dry up the quest to quench Ontarians' thirst. The heavy regulation that replaced prohibition centralized surviving breweries. Today, independent breweries are booming and writing their own chapters in the Ontario beer story.

Download or read book Not Just the Strap written by Vera Pletsch and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-10-04 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stern discipline, so prevalent in Ontario classrooms during the first half of the twentieth century, remained intact not only because elementary and secondary teachers wanted to keep their jobs, but also as a result of control exerted by higher authorities. During their training, teachers encountered this control, particularly during practice teaching. As educators, their mandate to "keep order" extended well beyond the classroom. Ignorance and insensitivity when dealing with issues of ethnicity, religion, gender, colour, and mental and physical capabilities frequently resulted in discrimination. Beyond corporal punishment, the subtleties incorporated in rules, rituals, and curriculum reflected the societal conviction that a teacher was always in control-expectations that mirrored the previous century's school reformers' desire to instill a work ethic and moral discipline suitable for an emerging society. In Not Just the Strap, author Vera C. Pletsch offers an intriguing analysis of discipline during the formative period of Ontario's history, when locals and parents controlled education. Making extensive use of archival material and interviews with former education authorities, inspectors, trustees, school staff, and pupils (1900?1960), Pletsch depicts an era of hierarchical control in school discipline-a period when few initiatives for change in educational policy, or in curriculum, were introduced. By explaining the subsequent efforts to dismantle the old philosophy, she also sheds valuable light on an area of current concern.

Download or read book Storyteller Guitar written by Doug Larson and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every object around us contains the history of all the people and places that brought it here. But rarely is that history explored. In this book, instead of breaking an object apart to reveal those stories, they are told by building the object a guitar named Storyteller from scratch. The text and illustrations reveal the rich lives of the people, places, and projects that breathed life into it. The stories range from people who were pioneers in landscape restoration to those involved with automobile manufacturing. The places include the high arctic, tropical forests, and vertical cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment. The projects include stage plays, laser physics and the establishment of the first Canadian diamond mines. By bringing together these disparate stories in one musical instrument the book makes the argument that art, science, and history are part of everybody’s life.
