Overview

Small Towns No Longer the Same The rural village of southern Ontario where each person knew every other person, as well as each person's family history for at least three generations past, represents an era of history. Like Anne of Green Gables, Tom Sawyer, and Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town represent a time that is no more, The Last of the Small-Town Boys celebrates the passing of another time. Although the setting is Beeton and Flesherton, it could have been set in any number of other little villages and towns in Ontario and Canada. It's in the little towns that one discovers a country, in the kind of knowledge that comes from small days and nights. James Salter, novelist An impressive recall of our early lives. Bert Platt, Beeton Historian Ron Pegg taught history in secondary schools of Ontario for thirty-four years. He has a BA in History and English as well as a master's degree in Educational Planning. He has lived most of his sixty-seven years in the villages of Beeton and Flesherton, population less than 700 people. He has been active in the community in many different areas, including village committees, coaching, church organizations and the village newspaper. Cathy, his wife of forty years, and their three grown children have been very important in his life. Other books by the same author: Trench Warrior, Creation Press, 2001; Ramblings, 1983.
