The people who lived at Brant's Ford, or in the countryside around
it, have made a considerable contribution to Canadian history.
Since Joseph Brant first established himself and the Indians of the
Six Nations, there in 1784, the region has been affected by, and
has reacted to, great events in Europe and North America, and in
the process has grown from a precarious pioneer settlement to a
well-developed agricultural and industrial society. This book is an
account of nearly two centuries of economic and social change in
the Brant area. The author records the effects of these changes on
Indian and non-Indian alike and relates them to developments in
Ontario and the rest of Canada. He gives much attention to such
notables as Joseph Brant himself, Hiram 'King' Capron (the founder
of the town of Paris), George Brown, the politician-turned-farmer,
and his 'agricultural factory', Alexander Graham Bell, Pauline
Johnson, Sara Jeannette Duncan, and to such industrial and
philanthropic families as the Veritys and the Cockshutts. This book
is published under the auspices of the Ontario Historical Society.
It is one that everyone interested in Canadian history will want to
read.
