Population, political, and social life, the urban landscape and the economic events that shaped metropolitan growth- Charlottetown: A History brings these themes together in a book that will reward both the professional historian and general reader. Over the years, many aspects of this history have been explored but never as a whole. This is the urban biography of the Birthplace of Confederation.
