Published in 1873 and dedicated to Lord Dufferin, this collection of recollections walks the streets of early Toronto, from Palace Street to the Market Place and beyond, recalling the houses, churches, shops and people of the town once called York. Scadding, a clergyman who grew up there, mixes local history, anecdote, family memory and the wider story of Upper Canada.
A cornerstone of Toronto local history, rich in detail for anyone tracing the city’s beginnings. Download the free EPUB.
