Aboriginal Ontario
Aboriginal Ontario: Historical Perspectives on the First Nations contains seventeen essays on aspects of the history of the First Nations living within the present-day boundaries of Ontario. This volume reviews the experience of both the Algonquian and Iroquoian peoples in Southern Ontario, as well as the Algonquians in Northern Ontario. The first section describes the climate and landforms of Ontario thousands of years ago. It includes a comprehensive account of the archaeologists' contributions to our knowledge of the material culture of the First Nations before the arrival of the Europeans. The essays in the second and third sections look respectively at the Native peoples of Southern Ontario and Northern Ontario, from 1550 to 1945. The final section looks at more recent developments. The volume includes numerous illustrations and maps, as well as an extensive bibliography.

The House of Ontario
"Beneath the deadly dull history of Ontario lies a myriad of fascinating, but little-known stories. Did you know: Sir John A. Macdonald was born in an Ontario town, not in Scotland? Karl Marx was once a visitor to Toronto? The famous poet W.B. Yeats graced the town of Captainstone, Ontario, with a visit in 1933? There was an active volcano in Ontario in 1886? "The book is accompanied by an important caveat: All of these stories are fictitious. "'The book is rather hard to characterize,' said MacGillivary, a professor at the University of Waterloo. 'It doesn't fit into any particular genre. It is best described as a "myth imitation." What I am doing here is inventing myths about the history of Ontario, where the facts are almost entirely false but the emotions are real.' "The book, a humorous romp through the history of Ontario, distills the character of Ontario out of the approximately 120 short vignettes taken, supposedly, from local histories and reminiscences, all of which are fictitious." - Anne Marie Goetz, Whig-Standard Staff Writer
