Product Description
Review
"...excellent colour illustrations and graceful descriptions...of Ottawa's special attractions... the maps (many of which are in colour) are well executed and there is a comprehensive index... recommended for both travellers and public libraries." (Barbara B. Aitken Canadian Book Review Annual )
"...a story told with skill and wit..." (Rod Currie Canadian Press )
" ... perfectly balanced ... It combines serious but eminently readable history with archival photos and maps in an ideal way." (William French Globe and Mail )
"This fine history moves with authority, conciseness and a good deal of wit on a broad front through a century and a half of civic history... Ottawa, An Illustrated History is a superb example of what a skilled historian can craft in the brief space of 200 pages.
This is also a superbly illustrated history...these images evoke a past that words can barely describe... forcefully written and revealingly illustrated, this book is...a wonderful read for all Canadians. (Duncan McDowall Canadian Geographic )
