I bet the people who work at the Bytown Museum would know. Side-note, that place is cool as hell.
Yeah they'll know for sure. Thanks!
If it's the whole thing beginning to end you're after, try Ottawa: An Illustrated History by John H. Taylor.
Edit: Some honourable mentions re: just history in general.
An Acre of Time by Phil Jenkins - a really in-depth look at the history of Lebreton Flats. I loved it, but I've also had a fascination with that area ever since I arrived here, for god knows what reason.
Ottawa Rewind (any of them) by Andrew King. A bit more on the trivia side, but I like Andrew's work.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
