NO. 3, MARTIN HUNTER SERIES – Table of Contents

The first (American) Soo locks after construction in 1855. It shows how the Native village was isolated along the St. Mary’s River. The locks were dug so that ships would no longer have to shoot the St. Mary’s River rapids, or portage through the town. Sailing ships and steamships could now navigate Lake Superior. As the chapter “BEFORE THE CANADIAN PACIFIC” implies, T.A. Reynolds would have traversed the locks to access the Superior North Shore. Credit Mikel Classen Historical Pictures Collection.

END NOTES

1  This is the subtitle in the unpublished typescript of T.A. Reynolds. The typescript retains the block print.

2  This is the last article in the typescript. A.L.K. Switzer did not finish transcribing the original typescript. He was transcribing the original typescript in longhand (handwriting). Someone (Switzer himself?) typed up this version of the original typescript. In a note to this author dated April 17, 2014, Andy Switzer wrote “Unfortunatly Dad (Ken Switzer) had a limited time to copy this longhand and was only able to get 3/4 of it”.  Refer to post No. 2 for the date of the transcription.

Norval Morrisseau, the founder of the school of Woodland Art, grew up in Northwestern Ontario. His artistic genius compelled him to record, in paint, the Ojibway legends of his people. Norval often used birch bark as a canvas. Credit YouTube video The Iconic Paintings of Norval Morrisseau.
