Once the Champlain series is over I will be giving a more in-depth look at the aboriginals in North America before the Europeans came. They have an important part in Canada's history which has been sorely neglected in the past.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-88214510654485142952009-02-04T14:07:00.000-05:002009-02-04T14:07:00.000-05:00Hey Barbara, I know this is totally from left fiel...Hey Barbara, I know this is totally from left field. But could I convince you to do a MTM post on the Royal Ontario Fair? Is that what it's even called? Or was called? I have this visual of apples upon apples upon apples. I think it was on the Ex grounds? Anyway, it was one of my favourite school field trips and it suddenly popped into my mind yesterday. Just wondering... ;)Barriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04678698296265168217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-83693595167504279072009-02-04T10:33:00.000-05:002009-02-04T10:33:00.000-05:00Those were men of adventure eh?Those were men of adventure eh?Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-17622959642877172792009-02-04T08:45:00.000-05:002009-02-04T08:45:00.000-05:00Finding a rock inscribed by Champain in 1613 must ...Finding a rock inscribed by Champain in 1613 must have made someone's day. :)BernardLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722619048888613647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-77423548876118769062009-02-04T07:01:00.000-05:002009-02-04T07:01:00.000-05:00The four Recollects must have been very brave.
