Where the Ottawa River cut a border, communities forged a shared past. These quiet lives still speak. Cyrus Thomas's History Of The Counties Of Argenteuil, Que. And Prescott, Ont., From The Earliest Settlement To The Present is a landmark Canadian county history book, tracing Argenteuil Quebec local history and neighbouring Prescott, Ontario, from the Canadian pioneer settlement era into a maturing landscape of farms, villages, churches and civic institutions. Blending narrative, local biography and careful documentation, it captures the flow of Ottawa River valley history and the character of Quebec Ontario frontier communities, illuminating the early settlers of Argenteuil, their hardships, ambitions and achievements, and the growth of a distinctive society in 19th century Quebec Ontario. Today it serves simultaneously as a vivid regional chronicle, a reliable reference for Canadian historians, and an invaluable genealogy research resource Canada, rich in names, places and family connections that underpin local history for genealogists. Essential to any serious Canadian regional history collection, this Prescott Ontario history book evokes everyday life, migration, faith, politics and community-building along this storied stretch of the Ottawa River valley. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
