Episode 26: Wilderness Adventurers Part III
In this episode, I’ll be continuing my recollections of some of the wilderness adventurers who settled on leaseholds in Algonquin Park in the early 20th Century. Here I'll be introducing you to a few more interesting characters who became the heart and soul for the leasehold community.
Virtually all of the stories I share, come from two of my books Algonquin Voices; Settlement Stories of Canoe Lake Women, that won in 2002 the Alison Prentice Award for best women’s history that year by the Ontario Historical Society and Treasuring Algonquin, my 2006 book on the history of leaseholding in Algonquin Park.
Once again the musical interlude is a composition written by Sarah Spring called Old Friend. For more information about Sarah or if you’d like to listen to more of her work, learn more about Sarah or buy her musical scores, check out her web site www.sarahspringpiano.ca
