Other communities in the book include Bracebridge, Burlington, Oshawa, Ottawa, Timmins, Kingston and, of course, Toronto. Factual and well-researched, Hidden On- tario is published by Polar Bear Press. Boyle is a writer, broadcaster and special edu- cation teacher who lives near Parry Sound. Ron Brown, on the other hand, produced the second volume of Ghost Towns of Ontario, taking readers into more than 60 new sites in- cluding old railway depots, abandoned churches and haunted villages where the chances of seeing or hearing the paranormal are consid- ered to be more likely. The first volume of Brown's work detailed the history of many of Ontario's forgotten and abandoned hamlets and villages. This one takes in a wide spectrum of Ontario and includes pho- tographs of buildings which probably in a more historic- i THE NEW TANNER minded society would prob- ably be preserved and now have admission charges. Brown includes nearby Boston Mills in this edition, a small community on the Credit River near Chelten- ham which saw settlement as early as the 1820s when this area was first being devel- oped. Brown, a town planner, lives in Toronto where he has been writing for over 30 years. Both books make interest- ing reading and would make excellent vacation fare as well as giving readers a glimpse into the Ontario of yesterday. They are both available at the olde Book Shop in Acton.
