From the rowdy days of rumrunning, the revolutionary beginnings of Canada’s auto industry, lazy days swimming at Ford Beach, riding the steamer to Bob-Lo, ghost stories and cursed islands, travelling to the North Pole at Hudson’s, exiting the Underground Railroad, saying good-bye to those brave boys heading off to war – and so much more!

Everything since 1838 is too bipolar to follow.
