305 pages including index. Although this is the story of one county in Ontario, it covers facets universal in Canadian growth: road-building, land-clearing, the development of health and educational services, and the progress and dreams of the people themselves. The story, from Indian times to the present atomic age, is told in more than 500 black and white photographs and illustrations. Moderate wear to book which has moderate twist to its orange cloth spine. Dust jacket, bearing a wonderful large photo of a mechanical railroad shovel, is well-worn but remains functional. Book
