"Recollections of Bytown and Its Old Inhabitants" by William Pittman Lett is a historical account penned in the late 19th century. The work serves to document and celebrate the early history and significant figures of Bytown, now known as Ottawa, through a collection of reminiscences filled with names and anecdotes from the past. Lett's intention is clear: to capture the essence of a bygone era and preserve memories that might otherwise be forgotten. At the start of this work, Lett introduces the reader to the vibrant life and notable individuals of Bytown around the 1820s. He employs a poetic form that weaves together the stories of various townspeople—laborers, merchants, and community leaders—highlighting their contributions and everyday lives. Rich in detail, the opening outlines a lively community atmosphere, complete with the struggles and camaraderie of those who shaped the town’s history. Lett's affectionate reminiscing creates a tapestry of collective memory, enticing the reader to feel nostalgic for an era marked by hard work and community spirit.
