Bibliography

I've included this page to share with you the major sources of information I have found and used in writing this website, along with other documents of note that are related to Wiarton or Colpoy's Bay.

Note that historical documents occasionally include conflicting and/or erroneous material. However, in writing this site I have endevoured to cross-check my facts so as to validate them from more than one reliable source. That said, all content on "Postcards from the Bay" is be subject to revision. My research is ongoing and the possibility always exists that new facts may come to light.

Of course, if you have another source that you would like to share that I have not listed here, feel free to contact me using the email link in the menu to the left.
