BRUCE Day by Day is an every-year daybook celebrating the heritage of Bruce County. It’s a place to meet pioneers and poets, artists and athletes, to read about farming accomplishments and factory start-ups, lighthouses and lake boats. As much a ‘when was when’ as a ‘who was who’ it gives dates for storms and shipwrecks, fires and floods that have tested the determination for which Bruce County people are famous. Here too, are snippets of whimsy brightening days from 1860 to 2010. To the compilation in these 112 pages, readers can add their own significant dates as they experience BRUCE Day by Day. Format includes 54 original drawings by Kenneth L. Thornburn. ISBN 978-1-96922-47-8 spiral bound $14.00
