[Halton County, Ontario]

BOOK - The Great Hunger - Ireland 1845-1849 -- Back in Print!
By: Cecil Woodham Smith.
The Irish potato famine of the 1840's, perhaps the most appalling event of the Victorian era, killed over a million people and drove as many more to emigrate to America. The continuing impact on Anglo-Irish relations was incalculable, the immediate human cost almost inconceivable. In this vivid and disturbing book Cecil Woodham-Smith provides the definitive account.

The following titles are now available as books on CD as well as in traditional hardcover...
BOOK - Pioneers of The Upper Ottawa, and The Humors of the Valley [Hull & Aylmer, Quebec area]
By Anson Guard.
Originally published by Emerson Press, Ottawa, 1905.
This facsimile reprint by Global Heritage Press, Milton, 1999 (CD 2009)
Genealogists will rejoice to see this new edition of Pioneers of the Upper Ottawa, with its wealth of genealogical information about families in the Aylmer-Eardley-South Hull area. The original edition of 1906, published by a small press in Ottawa, has disappeared so thoroughly that even libraries have not found copies to place in their rare book rooms. The core of the book, and the justification for republishing it after so many years of neglect, are the genealogies which occupy the last third of the volume. All the earliest families are listed, with information about who married whom, where migrant children have gone and whose farms various descendants occupy now. This historical reprint includes a new introduction and a new index. ISBN 1-894378-28-8 (Hardcover Edition). Now available on searchable CD too! More information
BOOK - Contributions To The History of The Eastern Townships, Accounts of the Early Settlement of St. Armand, Dunham, Sutton, Brome, Potton, and Bolton [Quebec]
By Cyrus Thomas.
Originally published by John Lovell, Montreal 1866.
This facsimile reprint by Global Heritage Press, Milton, 2006 (CD 2009)
Cyrus Thomas created a work that has endured as a valued reference work since it was first published by John Lovell, Montreal in 1866. It is a carefully prepared text that offers valuable insights into the early settlement and development of the Eastern Townships of present-day Quebec as reported by a witness from more than one hundred and forty years ago.
ISBN 1-894378-91-1 (Hardcover Edition). Now available on searchable CD too! More information
BOOK - The Story of Dundas Being A History of The County of Dundas From 1784 to 1904. [Ontario]
By J. Smyth Carter.
Originally published by St. Lawrence News, Iroquios, 1905.
This facsimile reprint by Global Heritage Press, Milton, 1999 (CD 2009)
A history extending over one hundred years, and unusually rich in story, legend and details of settlement and development of this vibrant Eastern Ontario county. The Story of Dundas includes a new index by Lyall G. Manson. Also includes many family sketches and 56 pages of photos and illustrations.
ISBN 1-894378-14-8 (Hardcover Edition). Now available on searchable CD too! More information

New Historical Atlas Promotion
In 2008-2009 we participated in a joint venture to reproduce extremely high quality historical atlases for the Ontario counties of Lanark, Lincoln & Welland, and Middlesex. Also published was an premium historical atlas for the Dominion of Canada. All include beautifully reproduced maps, many in full colour. These atlases are crammed with information about the settlement and development of the counties including maps of townships often with land holders identified by lot and concession. Many drawings of homes and individuals included.
From now until Christmas (or until 100 units of each title are sold), you will have an opportunity to acquire these beautifully handcrafted historical atlases at a significantly reduced cost.
These fine works will serve as excellent research resources, family heirlooms, and ideal Christmas gifts for the history buff in your family.
