Muskoka - Andrew Hind - Bog

- Settlers, Secrets & Summer Fun

Bag om Muskoka

Muskoka is a beloved region for summertime frivolity--a popular destination for tourists and cottagers. The region is also home to a remarkably varied and interesting history. This book explores stories that most people, residents included, likely know little about. Meet Dangerous Dan, a two-fisted brawler who fought his way into legend though countless lumber camps and booze-soaked taverns. Learn how one man's vision and hard work transformed Bala into the "Cranberry Capital of Ontario." Explore the history of Bigwin Inn, a lavish resort that was once the most luxurious hotel in Canada and that experienced a tragic and sad demise. Venture aboard steamships, into logging camps and elegant resorts, and through dense forests to the remains of ghost towns to unearth tales so much a part of the Muskoka experience...but overshadowed by the beautiful lakes and the endless opportunities for carefree enjoyment.
