This
is the tenth book of Elwood H. Jones, a columnist with the Peterborough
Examiner, archivist at Trent Valley Archives, and Emeritus Professor of
History at Trent University. It is a history of Peterborough in 100
stories. It is also about an historian at work, using the raw materials
of history to see the past with fresh eyes.
A smooth-reading
book with about 100 illustrations, it should appeal to people who have
been reading the Examiner column, and to those who have missed the
column for one reason or another. It is a perfect gift for people with
Peterborough connections wherever they live. Its novel approaches
should appeal to history buffs everywhere.
If you have questions or need further details contact the author at 705-743-0231 or the Trent Valley Archives at 705-745-4404.
