The Heath and the Horse
Author: David Oldrey
Publisher: Philip Wilson Publishers
ISBN: 9781781300237
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
As might be imagined from its historic position as the acknowledged home of horse racing, there is no shortage of books about Newmarket; none, however,provides a definitive history of Newmarket Heath and the key figures who contributed to its transformation from untamed heath land to the world’s finest racing ground. This comprehensive and authoritative book is the first to trace this history from its early beginnings to the present day and to show how and why the sport of horse racing developed on the heath and spread globally from that base. All of the turf’s greatest racehorses and the larger-than-life characters integral to the heath’s history are included.

The Yonge Street Story, 1793-1860
Author: F.R. (Hamish) Berchem
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 1554883601
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
This is the remarkable story of the trail that became the longest street in the world, as officially recognized by The Guinness Book of Records. Begun in 1794, Yonge Street was planned by the ambitious Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe as a military route between Lake Ontario and Lake Huron. Anxious to bolster Upper Canada's defences against the new republic to the south, which he heartily loathed, Simcoe had his Queen's Rangers survey and develop the route from Toronto to present-day Holland Landing, and laid out lots for settlement. Even the trusty Rangers, as one surveyor complained in 1799, needed little excuse to lay down tools and vanish "to carouse upon St. George's day." Handsomely illustrated with the author's drawings, and painstakingly researched, this book captures the not-so-distant days when muddy Yonge Street was the backbone of pioneer Ontario.
