Temiskaming treasure trails, 1886-1903

About this book

"Centuries after the earliest Algonquin people moved into Lake Temiskaming lands and mingled with their Montagnais, Cree and Salteaux neighbours, European fur traders came to canoe their trails. Then lumbermen, missionaries and settlers followed in struggling search of separate treasurers. So Temiskaming Treasure Trails' story finally narrows to a Tri-Town point. For along the 1903 railroad tracks reaching New Ontario at the head of Lake Temiskaming came the growth of Cobalt, which with Haileybury and New Liskeard excited the burst of northern development. The daring character and mistakes of these energetic days set the stage for future trails. Spreading over which, a larger family of people colours the hard Precambrian a warmer grey and strengthens the common generosity of Temiskaming lives."--Jacket.
