2004846h6129Canada: Boston Mills Press. Very Good. 2004. First Edition. Paperback. 1550464213 . Signed without inscription by author upon half-title page. "The Great North Road was one of a score or more colonization routes that beginning in the 1850s the Ontario government pushed into the rock-ribbed southern flank of the Precambrian Shield to admit agricultural settlers. It was Man against Nature in its most primary form - bareknuckled roadbuilders and homesteaders attempting to transform a rugged landscape containing the most ancient rock on the continent. Most of the land proved unsuitable for crops but a great many families settled along the road and they and their descendants created some of the province's most proud and picturesque communities along Georgian Bay. This fascinating book is filled with stories and photos that reveal a little-known chapter of Ontario's history." - back cover. 160 pages. Index. Generously illustrated with black and white reproductions of archival photos. Printed upon glossy stock. Unmarked with light wear. A quality copy of this engaging history.; 4to; Signed by Author .
