Torch of Liberty Kindled By Scotch Block Pioneers
A 1923 Toronto book, The Pioneers of Old Ontario, is cited to claim the Scotch Block in Esquesing as Canada’s cradle of liberty. Trustees James Hume, William Michie and Peter McPherson oversaw a gift deed for a church site linked to Old Boston Church, with opinions on responsible government and local self rule. Reminiscences from Oakville and Halton detail pioneer timber trade and escape stories around Mackenzie’s era, noting local figures who aided Mackenzie after Montgomery’s Tower.
