The Upper Ottawa Valley: a Glimpse of History, RARE
Description
The Upper Ottawa Valley: A Glimpse of History by Clyde C. Kennedy, published in 1970, rare edition soft cover, 254 pages.
Overview:
“The Upper Ottawa Valley: A Glimpse of History by Clyde C. Kennedy, published in 1970, is a well-regarded local history book, sometimes described as a worthwhile read for understanding the region. It offers a historical perspective on the area and is recognized as a staple text for those interested in the history of Renfrew County and the surrounding region.
Key Aspects of the Book:
Focus: It provides a "glimpse of history" for the Upper Ottawa Valley, covering key events and developments in the area's past.
Context: While it serves as a historical account, some reviews suggest it contributes to local historical literature without being an academic dissertation.
Content: The book covers the region's development, likely touching upon early settlement, the logging industry, and the impact of the river on the local community.
Value: It is often considered a valuable resource for locals and history enthusiasts.
The book is recognized as a key text in understanding the history of this part of Eastern Ontario, though a detailed, in-depth analytical review was not found in the search results.”
“This is a fascinating rare document. It is absolutely crammed with info on the region! There are maps, photos, period drawings, old advertisements - in short, anything that the author can find to support and bring to life the evolving history of the Upper Ottawa Valley. It's a Ph. D. course in 254 pages, fully indexed. If you live there - you should have this!”
The rare book is in excellent condition, binding completely intact, pages clean, untorn and unmarked.
I’m Asking $25 CASH (no tax), you pick up in Cataraqui Woods, Kingston, around the corner from Walmart.
Will consider mailing
