Summary:

Century spanning battles between the Iroquois and their tribal enemies; a last silver mine hidden by a wise Indian chief still awaiting discovery; exploring parties whose behaviour raised the Duke of Wellington's blood pressure - all play their roles on the broad stage of the Haliburton Highlands, Unlike its southern neighbours, this rugged Provisional County which never attained full county status, attracted rollicking trappers and loggers as well as industrious settlers from the British Isles, Upper and Lower Canada and the United States. Their combined stories lend colour and excitement to the following chapters: Missing Pages - When Red Men Roomed; The Key Is Forged - Explorations and Surveys; The Door Opens - Colonization Roads; Northward Pioneers! - The First Settlements; With Axe and Pike Pole - When Pine Was King; With Trap and Gun - Campfire Tales; Haliburton Village, Dysart, The Victoria Railway; Lutterworth, Snowdon and The Great I.B.&O; The Luck of the Eastern Townships; Minden, Anson and Hindon; Stanhope, Sherborne and the Northern Townships; Bibliography.
