The book is called "Tell me Another Story" by Joan Finnigan. It is a collection of stories by various individuals and how them came to live in the Ottawa Valley (Canada). This is the 7th book to be published on the history of Ottawa by this author. I guess you can get a copy from McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited, 330 Progress Avenue, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, M1P 2Z5. The beginning of his story goes like this;
"Howard Felton Harris is the fourth generation at Shadow Hill Farm at Gatineau Point, Quebec, the original crown land settled by his ancestors almost two hundred years ago. He is the author of a hardbound 680 page genealogical study of the Harris family, which sprang from the original twosome and spread across the continent.
Martha West and Samuel Harris were married in St. Marylebone Church, London England in 1811. Three daughters were born before they emigrated to Canada in a sailing vessel that took seven weeks to cross the Atlantic. In 1818 they disembarked in Nova Scotia and stayed in the New Glasgow district for a year before moving up the St. Lawrence and Ottawa River to West Templeton, Quebec. Thomas Henry, the fifth child of Samuel and Martha's union, inherited the homestead. In 1849 Thomas married Jane Potter, a remarkable woman, from the area who, besides having fourteen children, used to carry wheat to Dufresne's grinding and carding mill on the Blanche River seven miles away, and bring the flour home for baking bread. As well as farming, Thomas learned the trade of wood carving and cabinetmaking from his father. He worked as a wood carver in the first Parliament Buildings in Ottawa 1859-65. Thomas also continued the square-timeber trade his father Samuel had begun on the Lievre River. Howard's father, Robert Nathan Harris, was the eleventh child born to Thomas and Jane. Before the turn of the century, the local boys in town from Gatineau Points for the day would leave Byward market (Ottawa) when they found the time lagging there, walk up Sparks Street or Bank Street and for amusement, have their photographic businesses along the way. One time in the market with a load of hay, Robert Harris decided to have his good looks preserved for posterity by A.G. Pittaway of Sparks Street."
