Journalist, author, genealogist, playwright, radio producer, and later minister, Orlo Miller present a definitive history of the first two centuries of life for the Forest City: London, Ontario, Canada.

Beginning with Peter MacGregor's inn and tavern at the Forks up to the more recent past, This Was London is an absolute banquet of historical information that follows a burgeoning village to a fledgling town to a bustling city, garnished throughout with many previously unpublished illustrations, rare early archival photographs, and counter-pointed with events in the outside world to place all the local developments into perspective.
