I spent summers in the cottage country up there all my childhood. I had no idea of the history of the place. Charlie Angus writes about it with such a wonderful passion and sympathy for the workers who were exploited there. And humorous appreciation for the characters and con men that built the place. And understanding of the environmental costs of the mining.

I ordered my copies from The Book Corner in Niagara Falls, NY. It’s an independent bookstore worth supporting, and Jeff always finds whatever I am looking for and sends it right away.
