Description
Windsor Ontario is a border town made up of five communities. Marty Gervais takes the reader on a narrative walking tour of Ford City, Riverside, Walkerville, Windsor, and Sandwich. Along the way, tales of aboriginal curses, rum-running, riots, union-busting, horse-racing nuns, lethal lightning strikes, and murderous ministers abound.
