Publisher's Synopsis
Canoe Lake, Algonquin Park, has played a prominent role in the identity of Canada. Canoe Lake was the adapted home of Tom Thomson, an artist whose death mystery has still not been resolved almost 100 years after it occurred. Canoe Lake was also the inspiration for a new Canadian movement of artists who became known as the Group of Seven. Canoe Lake has inspired leaders throughout the world (including a prominent Canadian Prime Minister). More than 100,000 people visit Canoe Lake each year. This book, written by an author who spent ten summers working on Canoe Lake provides insider stories, things to see that you might otherwise miss, personal fascinating anecdotes as well as the history of the lake. The book was written and illustrated with pictures from 80 original paintings by Canadian artist B.C. Harris
