The Governor's Road

The Governor's Road: Early Buildings and Families from Mississauga to London, by Mary Byers and Margaret McBurney. Published by University of Toronto Press, this is the hardcover 1983 reprint of the work first issued in 1982, complete with its illustrated dust jacket.

This well-illustrated regional history follows the early communities, buildings and families associated with Ontario's historic Governor's Road between Mississauga and London. It combines architectural and social history with accounts of pioneer settlement and includes numerous black-and-white photographs by Hugh Robertson, along with a bibliography and index.

This copy is flat signed by both Mary Byers and Margaret McBurney on the title page and dated May 10, 1984. No recipient's name or personalized inscription is visible.

The dust jacket shows light visible shelf and edge wear and is now protected in a removable clear plastic cover. The photographed title and copyright pages are clean and legible, while the representative interior spread appears clean and includes a black-and-white architectural photograph without visible highlighting, underlining, stains or tears. The book will be packed carefully to help protect the hardcover, jacket and signatures in transit.
