    About the Book

    Edit

    If you think history is boring - THE LOST WORLD of RIVER de CHUTE is anything but! A 240 page trip through time of the Canadian/American border community along the St John River of New Brunswick, readers take A WALKING TOUR from north to south from the 1800s to today via hundreds of photos, many by the author's WW 2 photographer-father Bill Terlecki. Sections include: the historic saw and grist mills; stores; bridges - including the long-gone covered bridge; dam and penstock operation for primitive electricity methods; the one room school - where you can take exams derived from actual depression era text books to see how knowledge of today - or lack of it, compares to that of the 1930s; the Canada Customs; the first post-war auto-body garage; churches and cemeteries with names lists; farms; notable local people including early 1920s TV inventor Hollis Baird; the arrival of electricity; the Beechwood dam project and flooding of land; the Trans Canada Highway project that completely changed the topography and lives as the 1960s saw "modernization's" good and bad impacts; BENEATH THE PINES section of reminiscences of those lost times; war vets; social news; timeline diaries; maps and illustrations, and more. Available in soft cover, hard cover, and download PDF formats, THE LOST WORLD OF RIVER de CHUTE is a book that readers have passed down to friends and family members since the first printing in 1999 - a lost world, now documented for future generations to relive!

    About the Creator

    Gregory Terlecki is an award winning screenwriter, as well as artist, actor, photographer, and book publisher of his beloved native birthplace - River de Chute. A world traveller since the age of seventeen, his most daring adventure was a year spent travelling by ship, and overland from Europe east to Kathmandu, and many exotic countries as far south as Tasmania, and later to South America and the Caribbean. His father Bill, imprinted the world as seen through a lens, by giving Gregory his first camera at ten. At twelve, Bill handed him the Super8 movie camera on a return trip to River de Chute to film the destruction and construction of the building of the massive Trans Canada Highway - frames of which are featured here. In Bill's four years as a Canadian Army Sergeant, he carried rolls of Belgian Kodak 35mm film, and documented WW II. Those photos, as well as Gregory's, will come together in Gregory's next book: "Father & Son - 100 Years Of Photography."
