Anotace knihy

At the turn of the century Sudbury was a town set on the railroad, with a population of about 2,000. The community was smaller than Sault Ste. Marie and Copper Cliff to the west, and to the east, North Bay and Pembroke. Now, nearly 100 years later, Sudbury is the largest city in northeastern Ontario. it is also the centre of many governmental, business, social, educational, media, medical, and other professional services in the region. Sudbury: Rail Town to Regional Capital, which honours the centenary of the community's incorporation as a town in 1893, analyses Sudbury decade by decade, describing the ongoing changes in the community and their impact on citizens. The book also examines the forces that shaped the city's destiny and argues that Sudbury is far more than a single-industry town based on mining. Grounded in new research and written in an accessible style by a team of local scholars, the book, with numerous maps and photographs will appeal to urban historians as well as the general reader both within and beyond the city. C.M. Wallace, an associate professor of history at Laurentian University concentrating on Canadian urban history, edited City Government in Northern Ontario, a special issue of the Laurentian University Review. Dr. Wallace is also co-editor of Reappraisals in Canadian History. Ashley Thomson, a librarian at Laurentian University, is co-editor of The Bibliography of Ontario History 1976-1986, Temagami: A Debate on Wilderness, and At the End of the Shift, all published by Dundurn Press. He is currently editing The Bibliography of Northern Ontario 1966-1991 and The Bibliography of Ontario History 1987-1992.
