BOOK - Rockwood: A Mosaic of Memories (Ontario, Canada).
By Deborah Quaile, with original illustrations by Susan Strachan Johnson

Rockwood is the main urban area in the Township of Guelph/Eramosa in Wellington County, Ontario. A rapidly-growing community of approximately 3,500 people [2006], it is located on Highway #7 between Acton and the City of Guelph. The Eramosa River runs through the centre of town and is the reason for Rockwood's existence - having been the source of power for several mills that were the economic engine that spawned the original settlement.

Deborah Quaile has produced a wonderful local history of this Ontario community. The book is filled with interesting accounts of the experiences of Rockwoodites, from pioneer settlement to current times. Those stories are complemented with rare old photos of local people and landmarks and original illustrations by Susan Strachan Johnson.
