What Happened: Mississauga Histories
Edited by Robert Grant Price

This collection of historical feature articles tells forgotten stories of life in Mississauga, Ontario, and at Erindale College, now the University of Toronto Mississauga. Readers learn about homicides in Mississauga in 1973; David Blackwood’s tenure as Artist-in-Residence at Erindale College; the origins of the Theatre and Drama program at Erindale College; the story of how private lands were expropriated to build Erindale College; and the life of Peabody, a columnist at a student newspaper. This book includes a bonus story about Alexander Hall, the first Scot to win an Olympic medal in soccer.

Developed as a teaching resource with examples of historical feature articles, the book includes short advice essays on writing local histories by new writers, an interview with an archivist from an archivist, and quotations about what history is and what it can mean.
