Logging on the Schyan"On September 22, 1938, Vernon Price took a boat from Deep River, Ontario across the Ottawa River to the Depot on the Quebec side where the Schyan River enters the Ottawa. Hitching a ride on a tote wagon which delivered supplies to a number of logging camps along the Schyan, the enterprising 22-year old arrived at Willie McCool's Camp and was taken on. Logging on the Schyan is a collection of memories and photographs of that winter's logging." -- |
