Terry Boyle unveils the eccentric and bizarre in these
mini-histories of Ontario's towns and cities: the imposter who ran
the Rockwood Asylum in Kingston; Ian Fleming's inspiration for
James Bond; the Prince of Wales's undignified crossing of Rice
Lake; the tragic life of Joseph Brant; the man who advertised his
wife's death before poisoning her; as well as Ontario's first
bullfight and the answer to the question, "Why did so many
lumberjacks sport beards?"
The colourful characters, Native legends, and incredible tales
that make up our province's fascinating past come alive in "Hidden
Ontario." From Bancroft, Baldoon, and Brighton to Timmins, Toronto,
and Trenton, find out more about the Ontario you thought you
knew.
