Description:
Ottawa. McGahern Stewart Publishing; in co operation with Temagami Community Foundation. 2016. Soft cover. New. 8vo, 23cm, xvi,296p., illustrated wraps over boards, hardcover, new. Much of the social history of the Temagami region is recorded in bits and pieces in obscure places. A frequently referenced document is King of the Woodsmen by Hal Pink about a legendary Temagami character, Bill Guppy. The book, originally published in 1940, is extremely rare. McGahern Stewart Publishing, in collaboration with the Temagami Community Foundation, is reprinting it as part of the "Forgotten Northern Classics" series. ~ Bill Guppy was an intriguing character who had a good sense of history, was an astute observer of human nature, and could spin a wonderful tale. His humourous account of training the moose and bear mascots for the Algonquin Regiment in WWI illustrates once again that truth can be more interesting than fiction. Guppy describes the types of people, some desirable and some less so, that he… Read More
