Hamilton at War by Margaret Houghton ** (COVER IMPERFECTIONS)
Something amazing happened in Hamilton during the years of the Second World War. That brief period of time from 1939 to 1945 saw the city and its people create something so special that it was unlike anything they had known before.

1846 HAMILTON by Brian Henley
By the spring of 1846, Hamilton was already an "instant city", no longer content to be labelled a town.
So begins the story of Hamilton as it becomes a city. 1846 HAMILTON paints a vivid portrait of the community as it evolves from a rough and ready frontier town into the Ambitious "Little" City.
Noted historical writer Brian Henley tells of the fierce newspaper wars, the muddy streets, the disastrous fires and the beauty of the emerging community in this collection of stories from the mid-1840s.
1846 HAMILTON is a journey back in time, back to a time when events helped shape the Hamilton of today.
