Publisher's Synopsis
Where is the world's oldest maple tree? Where was Ottawa's first brewery? And what's up with that little island behind Parliament Hill? Did anyone ever live there? These questions, and a whole lot more just like them will be answered in Ottawa Rewind 2, the sequel to Andrew King's popular debut book Ottawa Rewind. Andrew is described on his Twitter account as "artist and cartoonist." It is a self-deprecating description for someone whose work can indeed be found in some of the finest art collections in the country, and from time to time, on the comics page of the Ottawa Citizen or the Kitchissippi Times. Andrew is also a detective, which doesn't get mentioned as often, a history sleuth who loves to solve old mysteries. What has Andrew found for us this time? Here is a sampling from Ottawa Rewind 2: A 17th-century French fort submerged in the Ottawa River. The location of Ottawa's once fabled Fountain of Youth. The Ottawa birthplace of a famous Old West gunfighter. And yes, he found that maple tree. Sit down and enjoy more rollicking road-trip adventures and quests with artist and history "detective" Andrew King.
