The bustling dance halls, carousels, and carnival rides of Bob-Lo Island. The dredging of the Livingstone Channel. The Essex explosion. The legacy of Jack Miner and his bird sanctuary. The insane asylum at Fort Malden. The churches, houses of refuge, and schools; the ferries and main streets, buzzing with life; the beaches where vacationers sunbathed, the woods where lovers walked, the rivers where boys fished, the factories and offices where citizens worked, and the places they all called home. With Postcards from Essex County, David Newman shows us a southwestern Ontario lost in time: drawn from the largest private collection of postcards in the region, with images ranging from the turn of the century to the 1970s, this beautiful full-colour volume offers a town-by-town tour of the county and its history. From Amherstburg to Woodslee to the vanished one-postcard towns, this is Essex County like you've never seen it before.
