Astride The River A History of Hamilton By P. J. Gibbons Published by Whitcoulls 1st Edition 1977

This volume is the first attempt to outline the history of the city from the time it was a military village on the outskirts of the British Empire in the 1860s, through periods of growth, recession, war and prosperity to the present day. Hamilton became a borough at the end of 1877, and this history is issued to commemorate one hundred years of municipal government.
