Saint John: 1877-1980 (Historic Canada) by David Goss
In its 225 years of existence, Saint John has undergone numerous transformations to become the city it is today. In 1783, an influx of American settlers resulted in upwards of 16,000 residents, andby 1867, the city was the fourth largest in Canada. The most catastrophic fire in the city's history came in 1877, resulting in the loss of some 1,600 homes and businesses. Many of the structures were
rebuilt and are still standing today, contributing to the city's Victorian character. By the 1950s, historic structures began to disappear in the name of progress, and a huge urban renewal development was
carried out in the 1960s. Saint John: 1877-1980 highlights the many changes the city has seen over the years, through photographs of its neighbourhoods, play places, tourist attractions, and residents.
Goss, David: - Saint John West Volume II examines the period from 1920 to 1970 and highlights the people who worked hard to make a difference in the city. Featured photographs include early scenes of the businesses and industry that put money in their pockets, the shops they supported, the sporting life they enjoyed, and the church and school
activities that meant so much to them. This second edition came about as a result of the response to Saint John West and its Neighbours. The first volume of images prompted many current and former residents to dig deeper into their scrapbooks and add to the impressive collection of photographs and stories that David Goss and Fred Miller had compiled. Their dedication to the preservation of the community's history provides us with many new details and little-known facts about the people and places of this portion of Saint John.
