For over 20 years I've been collecting stories, photographs, interviews, out of print books and researching various aspects of the human history of Algonquin Park in Ontario Canada. In other words, capturing voices from the past. In the fall of 2020, I launched my podcast 'Algonquin Defining Moments' to both complement my published books but also to continue my mission of sharing stories, recollections, traditions, landmarks and other fun Algonquin Park human heritage curiosities. In this way that those who share my passion for everything Algonquin Park can listen to snippets of the park and its people while commuting, walking, cooking, working around the house or even just meditating on the back deck. Enjoy! Gaye Clemson

Episode 26: Wilderness Adventurers Part III
In this episode, I’ll be continuing my recollections of some of the wilderness adventurers who settled on leaseholds in Algonquin Park in the early 20th Century. Here I'll be introducing you to a few more interesting characters who became the heart and soul for the leasehold community.
Virtually all of the stories I share, come from two of my books Algonquin Voices; Settlement Stories of Canoe Lake Women, that won in 2002 the Alison Prentice Award for best women’s history that year by the Ontario Historical Society and Treasuring Algonquin, my 2006 book on the history of leaseholding in Algonquin Park.
