Samuel Gilbert Barter (1871-1963) was a lifelong resident of Avondale (initially called Barter Settlement) and, in 1919, wrote about its progress from the 1840s to the early part of the 20th century. A condensed version of this history, blogged as A turn-of-the-last-century boomtown, links to the original work which includes numerous other records and photographs.
