Aprašymas

Just beneath the urban landscape of Toronto is a forgotten path that was once the road to adventure, wealth, and sometimes war. Retracing the ancient trail connecting Lake Ontario to Lake Simcoe, Glenn Turner rediscovers a crossroads of competing First Nations, of early European settlers and trappers, and of an urban history written into the streets of Toronto to this day. A highway for trade and exploration, the Toronto Carrying Place has borne witness to the development and devastation of communities for centuries.
Following the remnants of the trail, Turner tells the multicultural history of the Greater Toronto Area in a way never seen before. He attempts to recover undocumented histories of the Wendat (Huron), Anishinabe (Ojibway), Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), and Mississauga First Nations, on whose territory Toronto was founded. The Toronto Carrying Place invites readers to personally experience this historic trail while photographs, maps, and reproductions will offer the armchair voyageur a good sense of this fascinating mix of city, suburb, and countryside.
