Algoma Wanderings is a very short book written by John Hay McDonald. He was the Judge of the Algoma district for 26 years.
Your host reads his stories of hunting tips and the winding rivers and roads of this beautiful Northern Ontario landscape.
This story was written by Richard Metcalfe around 2012 for the Museum's Collection. I hope you learn more about the downtown landscape in the early 1950s and the intricacies of a young boy's perspective living in a history building.
