BOOK - Pioneers of the Upper Ottawa, and The Humors of the Valley
by: Anson A. Gard Another Canadian historical reprint from Global Heritage Press Inc. 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. Also included is a new introduction and detailed index. Family historians in search of both hard facts and colour will find both in this volume.Aside from the facts, this is the charm of Pioneers of the Upper Ottawa. Gard's personality provides a narrative which is interesting even for those who have no connection with Aylmer or South Hull.
Ryan Taylor, Genealogical Librarian, ACPL, Ft. Wayne IN This is a fine reprint of a rare volume for those with ancestors in this part of Quebec (Hull & Aylmer area) Paul Milner, Book Reviewer, Federation of Genealogical Societies' FORUM. Book Review by Paul Milner FGS
