I also picked up john c weaver's Hamilton: An Illustrated History. I've been wanting to check out this out since i read through Housing the North American City. it's also really good.
I am currently reading Marjorie Freeman Campbell's A Mountain and a City, which I bought a few weeks ago. I find this book has some really good descriptions of the early landscape, alot of specific references to where early buildings were located.
I love all of these books.

I bought DHB a few years back when they only had 3 volumes. I still need to pick-up the 4th one, they have a copy of that one at the Hamilton Public Library, 3rd floor history department. I heard there was a 5th volume of it currently in the works but don't quote me on that one. Great thing about these bios is they list they exact address, street name and house number, that the individual lived in here in Hamilton.
