Examines Ontario's formative years, focusing on Essex County. This book examines the actions of individuals from the perspective of the political culture and its manifestations, doing so within the constraints of geography and the cultural baggage of settlers. It shows how acquisitiveness and land speculation could promote or hinder development.
