The Journal of Dr. Tiberius Hess Librarian’S Introduction
The Journal of Dr. Tiberius Hess Librarian’s Introduction A few months ago, a longtime Hamilton resident donated a battered cloth-bound journal she discovered during a renovation. It’s a vivid story written by Dr. Tiberius Hess, a doctor who lived and practised in Hamilton during the Victorian era. In it, Hess claims to have invented a time machine, powered by electricity and steam, and governed by mysterious “nautilus gears”. He wrote of using that machine, called a “Chronocycle”, to travel to present-day Hamilton. The enigmatic Hess wrote of things far beyond the period in which he lived. Fascinating. His journal is divided into two parts. The primary section contains first-person entries about his experiences in Hamilton from 1854 - 1860, with a brief sojourn to 2019. The second section is made up of six “clue sets”. Hess claims these clues point to the location of a set of nautilus gears that he hid somewhere in Hamilton during his brief time-travel here. You can delve into those clues, and try to locate his nautilus gears, elsewhere on this website. The journal entries offer a fascinating glimpse into life in Victorian Hamilton. As befits a time traveller, Hess’s entries jump about in time, capturing his experience more as a rousing tale than a strict chronological account. They mention real historical figures such as: Isaac Buchanan, Sir Allan Napier McNab, James McFarlane and others. Hess lived through actual historic events such as the cholera outbreak of 1854, the Desjardins Canal rail disaster of 1857 and the visit to Hamilton by the Prince of Wales in 1860. -

GREENHILL, HANNON, UPPER DAVIS & UPPER OTTAWA CREEKS STEWARDSHIP ACTION PLANS STAKEHOLDER ADVISORY COMMITTEE TOUR NOTES *Denotes additional information resulting from discussions during the tour 1. Hamilton Escarpment ESA The Hamilton Escarpment ESA is immediately to the north of the Greenhill subwatershed and runs along the escarpment boundary. See Hamilton Escarpment ESA Natural Areas Inventory Site Summary provided. Why Protect ESAs? Hamilton, like many other municipalities, identifies significant natural areas in its Official Plan as a means to protect natural areas and ecological functions. These areas are an important part of what makes Hamilton a great city. Hamilton has a wealth of significant natural areas that improve the quality of our air, water, and lives. Also, the Provincial Government, through the Planning Act, Provincial Policy Statement, Niagara Escarpment Plan, and Greenbelt Plan, requires that municipalities develop policies to protect natural heritage features. By identifying Core Areas and providing policies to protect and enhance them, the City of Hamilton ensures that these areas and the important functions they provide are preserved for the benefit of everyone. The above is information from the City of Hamilton Website: City of Hamilton. “Environmentally Significant Areas Impact Evaluation Group." http://www.hamilton.ca/CityDepartments/PlanningEcDev/Divisions/Planning/CommunityPlanning/NaturalH eritage/ESAIEG/?WT.mc_id=ESAIEG&WT.hamilton_redirect_friendly=1, City of Hamilton. 2012.
