The history is complete, beginning with the earliest settlement and ending at a period in which Oakville has changed its character completely. It is based on wide research, begun out of genuine interest and curiosity, into a part of the province about which very little has been written. Mrs. Mathews has combed such primary sources as family papers, local newspapers, and archive documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe has given an intimate picture of the people, houses, and public buildings of Oakville, and of activities along \"The Sixteen,\" The creek which has been so important in its life.
