Wolfe Island begins with the emergence of islands at the end of
the last ice age and moves through the many centuries of First
Nations habitation to the era of French exploration and the fur
trading, the arrival of the earliest British settlers and the
United Empire Loyalists, up to current time.
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.
