Fredericton Flashback: Stories and Photographs from the Past

By Ted Jones

In these colourful blasts from Fredericton's past, the city's most exceptional characters and remarkable events are retrieved from the annals of history. Bringing together fifty of the best articles from Ted Jones' long-running and popular Daily Gleaner column, Fredericton Flashback portrays New Brunswick's capital city in the light of its own fascinating history. From Scandal and tragedy to triumph and success, these stories are filled with unforgettable names and events - striking in detail and surprising in scope.

Each week, historian Ted Jones writes the popular Fredericton Flashback column in The Daily Gleaner. Drawn from the rich visual history of the Public Archives of New Brunswick, the University of New Brunswick Archives, and the collection of the York-Sunbury Museum, the weekly column focusses on the city's remarkable past, the lives of its citizens, and the splendid heritage of the city of stately elms.

Collected here for the first time, the flashback historical compilation includes glimpses into many important local events and little known occurrences that have defined Fredericton and its people. Extensive detailed captions complement each historic photograph that have been carefully selected from collections of the city's most famous photographers.
