History 3231F
THE UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY Autumn 2012 HISTORY 3231F “Yours to Discover”: A History of Ontario Roger Hall Time: Wed” 1:30-3:30 Lawson Hall 2228 Place: STVH 2166 [email protected] The course is a survey of Ontario’s rich and varied past commencing with its founding as the colony of Upper Canada in the aftermath of the American Revolution and stretching to the modern day. Conducted in the form of a workshop with instructor and students both participating, a chronological frame is followed although individual sessions will pursue separate themes revealing the changing politics, society and economy. Each session, of which there will be two per weekly meeting, will include a brief introduction to the topic by the instructor, and then a verbal report prepared by a student, followed by questions and discussion. Assigned readings should make the discussion informative. Readings will be from prescribed texts, internet and library sources and handouts. There will be no mid-terms in this course. Reports will be made by students throughout the course; the essay themes can be the same as the reports—needless to say a superior performance will be expected in written work. There will be ONE essay and a final examination.

Tefferv! THE DAY OF SIR JOHN MACDONALD A Chronicle of the First Prime Minister of the Dominion BY SIR JOSEPH POPE K. C. M. G. TORONTO GLASGOW, BROOK & COMPANY 1915 PREFATORY NOTE WITHINa short time will be celebrated the centenary of the birth of the great statesman who, half a century ago, laid the foundations and, for almost twenty years, guided the destinies of the Dominion of Canada. Nearly a like period has elapsed since the author's Memoirs of Sir John Macdonald was published. That work, appearing as it did little more than three years after his death, was necessarily subject to many limitations and restrictions. As a connected story it did not profess to come down later than the year 1873, nor has the time yet arrived for its continuation and completion on the same lines. That task is probably reserved for other and freer hands than mine. At the same time, it seems desirable that, as Sir John Macdonald's centenary approaches, there should be available, in convenient form, a short r6sum6 of the salient features of his vii viii SIR JOHN MACDONALD career, which, without going deeply and at length into all the public questions of his time, should present a familiar account of the man and his work as a whole, as well as, in a lesser degree, of those with whom he was intimately associated.

Since 1922, the Federal government has erected plaques and monuments on the recommendation of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada to commemorate persons, places or events which are of national historic signifi cance. Locations where such commemorations take place are called national historic sites. There are now almost 800 of these sites in Canada, of which more than 200 are in Ontario. This booklet is intended to introduce the reader to those elements of Canadian national historical heritage singled out for commemoration in Ontario. For your convenience, the sites are listed alphabetically as well as by County. iv BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Historic Sites and Monuments proposals.

Introducing Darwinism to Toronto's Post-1887 Reconstituted
Introducing Darwinism to Toronto’s Post-1887 Reconstituted Medical School JOHN P. M. COURT “The boys sang their best songs and cheered with renewed vigour.” —The Mail (Toronto), 1890 Abstract. Charles Darwin’s scientific paradigm was largely welcomed in Cana- dian academic biology and medicine, while reaction among other faculty and laypeople ranged from interest to outrage. In 1874, Ramsay Wright, a Darwin- ian-era biologist from Edinburgh, was appointed to the University of Toronto’s Chair of Natural History. Over his 38-year career Wright integrated the evolu- tionary perspective into medical and biology teaching without accentuating its controversial source. He also applied the emerging German experimental research model and laboratory technology. This study identifies five categories of scientific and personal influences upon Wright through archival research on biographical sources and his writings. Keywords. natural history, biology, Darwinian evolution, medical education Résumé. Les théories de Charles Darwin ont été largement acceptées au Canada en médecine et en biologie, alors que les réactions au sein d’autres dis- ciplines et parmi la population allaient de l’intérêt à l’indignation. En 1874, Ramsay Wright, un biologiste d’Édinbourg, devint titulaire de la chaire d’his- toire naturelle à l’Université de Toronto. Pendant 38 ans de carrière, Wright a intégré la perspective évolutionniste dans son enseignement en médecine et en biologie, mais sans faire part de sa source controversée. Il a aussi utilisé la tech- nologie de laboratoire et le modèle de recherche expérimentale allemands, alors en émergence. Cette étude identifie cinq catégories d’influences personnelles et scientifiques perceptibles chez Wright, partant de ses écrits et de documents d’archives à caractère biographique.

Samuel Pedlar Manuscript
Samuel Pedlar Manuscript Transcribed from a microfilm of the original By Sharon Stark & Margaret Egerer July/August 1970 Samuel Pedlar Manuscript This small collection consists of material collected and compiled by Samuel Pedlar (brother of the founder of Pedlar People, a prominent Oshawa industrial establishment). It covers the period 1790-1904, and includes: notebooks; a map of Lake Simcoe watershed; photocopies of clippings; a typescript copy of an 1878 census of Oshawa; a copy of the Oshawa Vindicator, 1894, containing industrial history; and manuscript and typescripts copies of "From Cornwall to Canada, 1841", being facts collection by Sam Pedlar and rewritten by Charles H. Wethy (Toronto), regarding the Cornish immigration to Canada. The material was purchased from Samuel Pedlar (Oshawa) in May, 1904 and May, 1905, and borrowed from Mrs. Oscar Mills (Oshawa) in April, 1963. Dec. 10, 1969 R. Nickerson la FRAME 1 Clinton, November 21, 1894 S. Pedlar, Esq. Toronto Dear Sir: Your letter of the 9th inst relative to the name of Oshawa was duly received. I have been studying the question at this time suggested in Mr. Bateman's letter but find various difficulties. An interpretation not mentioned by him, but offered by good authority makes the word mean FRAME 2 "ferry him over." The word in Indian (i.e. Ojibway) would bear that interpretation: but how about the local application? I know little of Oshawa except what I learn from the directories. There mentions Warren Creek as a stream flowing through the town. Would this creek before it was bridged have required a ferry? And do you happen to know if there was once a ferry at Oshawa? Next, then an Indian village at or near the site of the present town? If you can give the information on these points I may be better able to find a satisfactory answer to your inquiries which I shall be happy to do.

Rowell was a conservative social reformer, still hoping that the old rural values could be imposed upon urban Canada, but he helped to lead the Liberal party to an awareness that a response to the problems of the new age was the duty of a modern political party. The careers of Edward Blake and Newton Rowell were in many ways tragic. Both were brilliant, hard-working and successful lawyers, but much as they loved the law, it was not enough for them. Both drove themselves to exhaustion and unhappiness in politics, impelled by overdeveloped concepts of duty, and by ambition.

Oshawa Community Museum & Archives
Presented by the Oshawa Community Museum & Archives Exhibit Sponsors and Partners Thank you to the following individuals: Linda Bazowsky Mr. Eric Glenholmes ~ WHY ARE SHIPS CALLED ‘SHE’? Ships are referred to as a ‘She’ or a female name because of the Romans. Ships have a feminine possession and it is thought that this is where the term comes from as all Roman ships were a ‘she’. Curator's Remarks by Melissa Cole, Curator The mainstay of research is obtaining source information that can be verified. When researching 19th century shipping there is an abundance of source data. This includes newspapers of the day such as the Toronto Telegram, Oshawa Vindicator, and The Kingston News. There are Great Lakes Vessel Registries, Inland Lloyds Lake Vessel Registry and Great Lakes Database, many of these resources can be viewed directly online! Through my own research and research of others including Ken Crichton, student volunteer Shawn Perron and Robert Stephenson - who was an Oshawa Diver and amateur ship-wreck researcher. Mr Stephenson spent much of his time diving in the Great Lakes seeking out the next ship wreck. All of this research has been compiled to create the exhibit, The Sea Shanty: Exploring Oshawa’s Relationship with Lake Ontario. More than a half-century before the advent of the automobile, sailors on the Great Lakes already knew Oshawa had a nickname. It was dubbed the “Manchester of Canada”. As a growing centre of industry and commerce, it was essential that its manufactured goods would quickly be transported to markets elsewhere. Elsewhere meaning population centres on both sides of Lake Ontario.
