BOOK - Jubilee History of Thorold Township and Town, From The Time of the Red Man to the Present (1897)
By John H. Thompson. Originally published in 1897 (This historical reprint by Global Heritage Press 2009)
This highly regarded local history of the town and Township of Thorold, Ontario is a very comprehensive view of the area from the time of First Nations, through European settlement up to 1897. Beyond a local history the book also contains pictures, lists of people (voters' lists, regimental personel, councillors, etc), histories of institutions and churches. A keystone publication for those with an interest in the history of the settlers and the development of Thorold.

BOOK - History of the County of Brant, Ontario (1883) -- With New Index
By Warner, Beers & Co.. Originally published in 1883 (This historical reprint by Global Heritage Press 2009)
This highly regarded history of Brant County has been a favourite of historians, genealogists and those with an interest in the region, for more than 125 years. We are delighted to put it back in print, complete with a new index compiled by the Brant County Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. 704 pages loaded with local history, biographical sketches, and history of the settlement and development (to 1883) of the individual towns and townships that make up Brant County.

BOOK - The Picturesque St. Lawrence River, Kingston and Cape Vincent to Morristown and Brockville (1895)
By Jno. A. Haddock. Originally published in 1895 (This historical reprint by Global Heritage Press 2009)
Though the book was originally published as a "souvenir" of the area, it serves a higher purpose for contemporary readers. It is more local history than momento. Filled with historical sketches and images of people and places on the Canadian and American sides of the river, The Picturesque St. Lawrence River provides the reader with a view of the connections between the families and communities discussed within it's covers. Printed on premium paper for the best possible reproduction of photographs and lithographs. Bound in sturdy hardcover with textured dark-green covering, this book will be treasured by family members for generations.

BOOK - Lunenburgh or THE OLD EASTERN DISTRICT (Eastern Ontario)-- With New Index
By J. F. Pringle. Originally published in 1890 (This historical reprint by Global Heritage Press 2009)
Pringle created a comprehensive history of the old Eastern District when he wrote this acclaimed account of pre-settlement and the first 100 years thereafter. Long used as a reliable reference work, and not yet matched by another author, we are pleased to be able to bring this book back into print. The new index adds greatly to the usability of the book for researchers seeking a specific subject or person.

BOOK - NEW INDEX to the book "Lunenburgh or The Old Eastern District"
By Global Heritage Press.
Unlike the 2009 reprint of Lunenburgh or The Old Eastern District from Global Heritage Press, the original 1890 book didn't include an index -- nor did the reprint that was done by Mika Publishing during the 1970's. If you have one of those old editions, you can now buy a separate index to make your copy more useful. Index of names; 62 Pages; 8.5 Wide X 11" Tall; Coilbound with Cardstock Covers.
