Autor JoAnn Meaker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2007
Nestled in the northwest corner of Wayne County, Ontario takes its name from the lake on its northern border. Through some 200 compelling photographs, Ontario traces the historical influences that helped shape this town from apples to atoms--from the distant
glacial past, the land developers Phelps and Gorham, the Iroquois Nation, and the early settlers to the major industries of iron ore mining and nuclear power. It focuses on the people, places, businesses,
industries, and agriculture that earned the town its motto: the Community of Good Neighbors.
