Wolfe Island

Description

"Wolfe Island begins with the emergence of islands at the end of the last Ice Age, and in particular the limestone island that ultimately would bear the name Wolfe Island, and moves through the many centuries of First Nations habitation to the era of French exploration and fur trading. The development and decline of industry, the evolution of facilities, land title frustrations, and the emergence of a strong sense of identity among the inhabitants are featured, along with a wealth of anecdotes based on colourful and eccentric personalities. This extensively researched history of Wolfe Island is a treasure trove for history buffs."--Page 4 of cover.
