Excerpt from Historic Sketches of Oshawa I am conscious of the fact that these pages fail to carry a nicely connected story of the industrial struggle which has been going on, for one century of time, within the confines of the town of Oshawa, but, by a strange chain of circumstances, certain documents of historic value have been quietly accumulating in my possession. I regard it as a duty which this generation owes to posterity that the history of our forefathers should not be for gotten. Disjointed and disconnected as much of the material may seem to be, I trust that the facts herein contained may at least serve as an authentic basis for a more complete local history of Oshawa when such may be written by some one better qualified for the task than the author of this little volume.
