Old Oxford is Wide Awake! Pioneer Settlers & Politicians in Oxford County 1793-1853

Old Oxford is Wide Awake’ is the story of Oxford County’s first half century of settlement, and its transition from an utter wilderness, criss-crossed by Indian trails, to a prosperous farming region.

It’s also a story of increasing conflict between immigrants from the United States and those from Britain; of Tories and Reformers; of the 1837 Rebellion; and, finally, a compromise and the prospect of more stable times with the coming of the railways.
