Community and the Human Spirit: Oral Histories from Montreal's Point St. Charles, Griffintown and Goose Village

Contributors to this book were all born between the 1920s and the 1950s. They grew up in the area recognized as Canada's "cradle of industrialization" - just a short walk from downtown Montreal. Theyrecall vividly for readers the days gone by when the streets of this industrial / residential area at the east end of the Lachine Canalbeside the Montreal harbour still hummed with the sounds of industry, and the narrow streets teemed with children. Now, large swaths of thishistoric working class community are ringing with the sounds of urbanredevelopment.
