	English Bloods In the Backwoods of Muskoka, 1878 by Frederick de la Fosse, Edited by Scott D. Shipman Farming in the Canadian backwoods in the late 1800s was a prospect that enticed many young Englishmen to cross the Atlantic. One such fellow was Frederick de la Fosse, whose well meaning uncle paid £100 per annum for his young nephew to serve as a farm pupil in the northern reaches of Muskoka. Some years later, de la Fosse, under the pseudonym of Roger Vardon wrote an illuminating and humorous biographical account of the trials and tribulations of the “English Bloods,” the local epithet attached to these young lads attempting to hone farming skills never intended to be agricultural. And, in so doing, de la Fosse chronicles the realities of pioneer life in the area. In the original text, published in 1930, a number of names were changed to conceal identities of the local people. Editor Scott D. Shipman has spent over eight years in researching the authentic names and overall background for this totally new edition of English Bloods. The richly descriptive text written by the keenly observant and erudite de la Fosse is complemented by archival visuals and annotations for today’s reader.

	Ghost Towns of Muskoka by Andrew Hind & Maria Da Silva This book explores the tragic history of a collection of communities from across Muskoka whose stars have long since faded.

It's about the people who longed for a better life; the people who lived, loved, laboured and ultimately died in these small wilderness settlements. And it's about an era of history, those early, heady days of Muskoka settlement when the forests were flooded with loggers and land-hungry settlers.
