ABOUT THE BOOK:
From a prominent Indigenous village to a railway hub, and from a riot to a park on an island, Woodstock has a rich history. While many aspects of New Brunswick's oldest incorporated town are well known, others are rarely discussed, and previous publications capturing these stories have long gone out of print. Nathan DeLong's debut book, Woodstock: New Brunswick's Oldest Town Through the Years, takes a detailed, comprehensive look at days gone by and how the town's past has shaped its present.
Reviews
“The publication of Woodstock: New Brunswick’s Oldest Town Through the Years is indeed timely. Mr. DeLong is a passionate advocate for promoting local history, and his commitment to this project ensures that a new generation of readers will understand why local history in general, and the story of Woodstock in particular, are important.”
- Woodstock Mayor Arthur Slipp, who wrote the book's foreword
