So much to discover
Each chapter of this urban heritage adventure covers a distinct
historical period. Learn just how much the district’s rich
architecture and its archaeological remains, streets, squares,
courtyards, piers, public artworks, as well as its heirlooms and
antique documents, can tell us about its history and that of the
people who have lived there over the years. The book also includes
maps to allow a better comprehension of the evolution of the historic
district from its inhabitation by native Indians up until today,
and will help any interested reader in the planning of a visit.
OLD MONTREAL History through Heritage includes a preface
by well-known historian Jean-Claude Robert and chapters by leading
experts Joanne Burgess, Jacques Des Rochers, Gilles Lauzon, Jean-François
Leclerc, Louise Pothier, Alain Roy, Alan M. Stewart and Roland
Tremblay.
