Read a sample Read a sample
Ottawa grew into the capital city of today from humble beginnings. Early politicians peddled their agendas in back rooms, while their wives worked the politics of high society. Legendary local logger Big Joe Mufferaw might have been the real-life Paul Bunyan. Business titan and self-made man J.R. Booth built and operated three railways in Ontario and then married off a granddaughter to a Danish prince. Author Cliff Scott brings these and other stories together in a collection of historical Ottawa vignettes. Discover Ottawa’s tenacity in surviving great fires and diseases. Glide along the ice rinks of the ages, from the first formal skating rink in 1868 to today’s Winterlude festival around the world’s largest skating rink. Join Scott as he highlights the famous—as well as infamous—characters, triumphs and tragedies of Canada’s capital from frontier times to today.
