"One feels that a great scroll is unfolding, gathering momentum as the years pass and the vast stretches of Ontario open. The chapters on the pioneer days, including verbatim of extracts from personal letters and diaries, give a documentary feel to the story. ... he draws conclusions and offers interpretations that are tolerant, enlightened and revealing. He gives summations that the average reader finds hard to make for himself. He treats his subject objectively, with no obtrusion of self." - Ottawa Journal

This is Ontario's story, a collective biography of her people, a history of her development as a province. Illustrated by Adrian Dingle, this refreshing study, with its emphasis on the personal, offers an enduring portrait of a province.
