About This Item

N.P.: University of Toronto Press, 1953. 521 pp, large 8vo (9 1/4" H). B&w drawings, photographs, colour plates. "(T)races the development of a typical Ontario lake port and pictures social life at the various stages of the town's development. The history is complete, beginning with the earliest settlement and ending at a period in which Oakville has changed its character completely. (Mrs. Mathews) has given an intimate picture of the people, houses, and public buildings of Oakville, and of activities along 'The Sixteen', the creek which has been so important to its life. She places the development of the village and town in its proper setting in Ontario history, with the result that the reader learns not only about Oakville but about the social history of Southern Ontario over a long period."

Dust jacket has chips and tears, surface paper loss at top of front panel, edgewear/creases, light fading to spine colour - now protected in removable mylar sleeve.. First Edition. Hard Cover.
