The Carleton Election or the Tale of a Bytown Ram, by Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey. Soft cover. Reprint, Pinhey’s Point Foundation, Kanata, 1989.
This rollicking ten-canto poem is a work of political satire penned in 1832 by Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey himself. He was the victorious candidate in the local by-election. This book was reprinted with an historical introduction and explanatory notes. It offers rare insight into Upper Canadian politics at the local level and casts interesting sidelights on a host of early Ottawa Valley personalities and pioneer settlers, about whom additional biographical details are provided in an appendix.
Price: $8.00 Canadian, plus postage.
