Aylmer Ontario Book 1 in Colour Photos: Saving Our History One Photo at a Time

Barbara Raue, a wife, mother and grandmother, is an avid reader and writer. She has researched and compiled several family histories. In 2010, Barbara published her book ＂Coins of Gold,＂ which celebrates the courageous life of her mother. Barbara’s second book is a historical fiction ＂Arrows, Indians and Love＂ which takes place in Boonesborough, Kentucky during the time of Daniel Boone. Barbara’s second novel is ＂Laura Secord Discovered.＂ She is currently working on a memoir. Barbara is pursuing her interest in photography with a desire to Save Our History one photo at a time by preserving a record through photos of old buildings from the 1800s and early 1900s with their unique architecture. Many old buildings in some cities and towns were torn down in the 1950s through 1970s. Others are slated for destruction. However, in many towns, the desire is to preserve some of our architectural heritage. But, nature also has a way of intervening in those efforts (one example is the tornado that swept through Goderich in March 2011 and destroyed many buildings). Barbara now has an impressive 82 books of towns of Ontario in photos.
