RICHMOND ON THE JOCK, by John Curry, is a fascinating and unique historical account of the community of Richmond, Ontario, just outside of Canada's National Capital, Ottawa.
Being a pioneering native of this community, John Curry bring's his insight and knowledge into each word, and instead of being another boring history book, this reads more like a novel. Richmond, Ontario, is the oldest established settlement in the Ottawa-Carleton area of Eastern Ontario, and this book was published to mark the 175th anniversary of the original town. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
