Episode 24: Early 20thC Wilderness Adventurers Part 1:

In this episode I bring to share with you some of the stories of another part of the Algonquin Park community - those whose ancestors – some, as many as five generations back, were invited by the Ontario Government to lease small plots of land on a specific set of lakes and build summer cabins. The belief then was that visitors wouldn't come unless there was a community of some sort to provide an anchor.

Virtually all of these stories come from two of my books Algonquin Voices; Settlement Stories of Canoe Lake Women that won in 2003 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.

The musical interlude again comes from the Wakami Wailers who can be found on www.wakamiwailers.com. It’s called Lonesome River and is from their 2017 Un, deux, Trois… Four Album. For pictures check out www.algonquinparkheritage.com.
