A genuine pop culture phenomenon, Irwin conquered the legitimate stage, composed song lyrics, and parlayed her celebrity into success as a cookbook author, suffragette, and real estate mogul. Sharon Ammen&#39;s in-depth study traces Irwin&#39;s hurly-burly life. Irwin gained fame when, layering aspects of minstrelsy over ragtime, she popularized a racist &quot;Negro song&quot; genre. Ammen examines this forgotten music, the society it both reflected and entertained, and the ways white and black audiences received Irwin&#39;s performances. She also delves into Irwin&#39;s hands-on management of her image and career, revealing how Irwin carefully built a public persona as a nurturing housewife whose maternal skills and performing acumen reinforced one another. Irwin&#39;s act, soaked in racist song and humor, built a fortune she never relinquished. Yet her career&#39;s legacy led to a posthumous obscurity as the nation that once adored her evolved and changed.</span></p> <p>See TI Life, August, 2017:&nbsp; <span id="dnn_ctr1009_ContentPane"><span class="DNNAlignleft" id="dnn_ctr1011_ContentPane"><a class="h2none" href="http://www.thousandislandslife.com/BackIssues/Archive/tabid/393/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2164/Sharon-Ammens-May-Irwin-is-a-10.aspx">Sharon Ammen&rsquo;s &ldquo;May Irwin&rdquo;

In their interview, they described the story of Gananoque&rsquo;s Willie Dailey who joined at 14 as a bugler with the 4th Battalion and was killed on the Somme, France.&nbsp;&nbsp; (Chapter 7:&quot;You won&#39;t be able to get me back because buglers are needed for the gas attacks!&quot; CANADIANS ON THE SOMME, AUGUST-NOVEMBER 1916)</p> <p>Listen and Read:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/episode/2013/11/11/canadian-boy-soldiers-who-fought-in-wwi/">The Current:&nbsp; &ldquo;Canadian boy soldiers who fought in WWI&rdquo;</a></p> <h3><strong>Description</strong></h3> <blockquote> <p>&nbsp;Between 15,000 and 20,000 underage youths, some as young as ten, signed up to fight in Canada&#39;s armed forces in the First World War. They served in the trenches alongside their elders, and fought in all the major battles: Ypres, the Somme, Passchendaele, Vimy Ridge, and the rest. Many were injured or suffered psychological wounds. Many died. This is the first book to tell their story.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>Some boys joined up to escape unhappy homes and workplaces. Others went with their parents&#39; blessing, carrying letters from fathers and mothers asking the recruiters to take their eager sons. The romantic notion of a short, victorious campaign was wiped out the second these boys arrived on the Western Front. The authors, who narrate the fighting with both military professionalism and humanity, portray many boys who, in the heat of battle, made a seamless transition from follower to leader to hero.</p> </blockquote> <h3><strong>About the Authors</strong></h3> <p>Authors Dan Black and John Boileau combed the archives and collections to bring these stories to life. Passages from letters the boy soldiers wrote home reveal the range of emotions and experiences they underwent, from the humorous to the unspeakably horrible. Their parents&#39; letters touch us with their concern, love, uncertainty, and often, grief. Meticulously researched and abundantly illustrated with photographs, paintings, and a collection of specially commissioned maps, <em>Old Enough to Fight</em> is Canadian military and social history at its most fascinating.</p> <BR> Wed, 13 Nov 2013 21:33:00 GMT Author 143 http://tilife.org/Books/tabid/397/agentType/View/PropertyID/143/Default.aspx Susie Smith 143 <b>Author's Name (ln,fn)</b>:&nbsp;Blackmer, Margaret <BR>Margaret Blackmer<BR><b>Rich Text Description</b>:&nbsp;<div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><em>Nana&#39;s River</em>, published in 2011, and Nana&#39;s Island, published in 2014, are realistic fictional picture books, written and illustrated by Margaret Blackmer, a year-round&nbsp;resident of the Thousand Islands, who enjoys living on the shore of the St. Lawrence River.</em></div> <div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><em>&nbsp;</em></div> <div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><em>The books share visits with grandchildren enjoying summer adventures: boating, swimming and learning about river lore.

When "Junk Day" comes to River Valley, it brings out strange things. A man has a serious case of "Light Envy" at Christmas. Other stories in this collection of 10 range from a farmer who learns to fly to a pastor who learns to float. * * "Funny and inventive, Brock is a natural storyteller, with a flair for the absurd," said Ellen Potter, a Thousand Islands summer resident and author of several best sellers including "The Humming Room" published by Macmillan . "He makes readers feel like they are sitting on his front porch, sipping iced tea and being regaled with the extraordinary events that erupt in the lives of his otherwise ordinary neighbors. With subtle strokes, he lifts his characters out of their normal lives and launches them into the weird and wonderful." Many of these stories have won awards and/or have been published at the online magazine Thousand Islands Life. Author Chris Brock was brought up in Waddington along the river. Many of the stories were also inspired by his profession as a journalist. He's the features writer and a copy editor at the Watertown Daily Times. He has also worked at the <em>Oswego Palladium-Times</em> and<em> Massena Observer.</em></div> <div>&#160;</div> <div>See TI Life in September 2012 where we announce this new edition for your book shelf.</div> <div>&#160;</div> <div>The book sells for $9.99 and is available at Amazon.com. &#160;It is also available for Kindle for 4.99</div> <div>&#160;</div> <div>The Watertown Daily Times review: &#160;<a href="http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20120630/CURR15/706309988">http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20120630/CURR15/706309988</a></div> <div>&#160;</div> <div>&#160;</div> </div> </div> <div style="DISPLAY: none" id="psGradient" class="psGradient" oldblock="block">&#160;</div> <div style="DISPLAY: none; HEIGHT: 20px" id="psPlaceHolder" oldblock="block"> <div style="Z-INDEX: 3" id="expandPS"><a class="showMore" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Those-Carp-People-Stories-Lawrence/dp/0615644694#">Show More</a></div> </div> <div style="DISPLAY: none; PADDING-TOP: 3px" id="collapsePS"><a class="showLess" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Those-Carp-People-Stories-Lawrence/dp/0615644694#">Show Less</a></div> <noscript></noscript></div> <p>&#160;</p><BR> Sat, 15 Sep 2012 17:56:00 GMT Author 83 http://tilife.org/Books/tabid/397/agentType/View/PropertyID/83/Default.aspx Susie Smith 83 <b>Author's Name (ln,fn)</b>:&nbsp;Brundage, Buck<BR> Buck Brundage<BR><b>Rich Text Description</b>:&nbsp;<p>The film depicts cottage life in the 1930’s and features the dedication of&#160;the Thousand Islands International Bridge on August 18th 1938. &#160;</p> <p>The film was shot during the summer of 1938 by my father Arthur Brundage.

A well-known destination for the rich and famous in the late nineteenth century, it&rsquo;s likely to only be recognized today as the place where Thousand Island dressing originated. For one family, however, it holds memories of a different story.</p> <p style="margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">Comfort Island</i>&nbsp;recounts not only the history of the Thousand Islands region, but follows the Alson E. Clark family and their remarkable residence on Millionaire&rsquo;s Row through six generations. While his island neighbors saw this scenic wonderland as an extended playground, Alson and his wife Sarah built their eight-bedroom, 6,500-square-foot Victorian mansion to escape from personal tragedy and create a new life for their three sons.</p> <p style="margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">In his memoir, author Tad Clark, the fourth-generation owner of the property, invites you to experience the incomparable magic of the place as he revisits the shared lore of earlier family members, as well as the fifty summers he spent on the island.</p> <p style="margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">About the Author:</p> <p style="margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">Tad Clark was born and raised in Southern California. A teenager when he spent his first summer at the treasured family home on Comfort Island in Upstate New York, he went on to marry a river girl. They raised children and grandchildren who continue to make the journey from their current residence in Asheville, North Carolina, to the Thousand Islands each summer. Over the years, Clark has written numerous articles about this scenic archipelago on the Saint Lawrence River.</p> <p style="margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">See: &nbsp;Tad Clark&#39;s <a href="http://www.thousandislandslife.com/BackIssues/Archive/tabid/393/articleType/AuthorView/authorID/328/Default.aspx">TI Life articles</a></p> <p style="margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">&nbsp;</p> <BR> Wed, 30 Sep 2015 02:10:00 GMT Author 113 http://tilife.org/Books/tabid/397/agentType/View/PropertyID/113/Default.aspx Susie Smith 113 <b>Author's Name (ln,fn)</b>:&nbsp;Coristine, Ian<BR>Ian Coristine's "One in a Thousand"for the iPad<BR><b>Rich Text Description</b>:&nbsp;<p>&#160;</p> <p>&#160;I<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">an Coristine's sixth book is an interactive eBook for iPad, titled&#160;</span><strong><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><a href="http://www.oneinathousand.ca/">One in a Thousand</a></i></strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Reminiscent of</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">&#160;</span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">The Olive Farm</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">,</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">&#160;</span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">A Year in Provence</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">&#160;</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">and</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">&#160;</span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Under the Tuscan Sun</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">, the memoir was co-written with Donna Walsh Inglehart (</span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Grindstone</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">,</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">&#160;</span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Breaking the Ring</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">).</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">&#160;</span></p> <p><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">One in a Thousand</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">&#160;</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">describes the challenges of acquiring Raleigh Island, the restoration of an abandoned cottage, and his adventures in the air and on the water as he immersed himself in a new, unexpected career. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Produced by McLellan Interactive Publishing, it includes an 85,000-word text set in a beautiful layout, videos of his flying adventures, nature sounds from the River an interactive map with hundreds of his best images embedded in the text, in galleries and in automated slideshows set to unpublished instrumental tracks from Great Lake Swimmers.</span></p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">One, highly rated in&#160;<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/one-in-a-thousand/id518088485?ls=1&amp;mt=8" style="color: rgb(58, 34, 32);">Apple’s iPad App Store</a>, showcases an entirely new form of storytelling.

This new book is more than a stunning overview of a magnificent but relatively unknown region. It uses the extreme gloss found on high quality book covers on every page, resulting in what may well be the "world's first book of covers.” This lustrous gloss adds a depth and vibrancy to the images not seen in a book before. Every image is a Coristine "best" from his library of 30,000+ images.<br /> <br /> &#160; To read more about the book, to see sample photographs and to order the book online see: <a href="http://www.1000islandsphotoart.com">www.1000islandsphotoart.com</a>. <br /> <br /> <strong><em>The very best of Ian Coristine's 1000 Islands</em></strong> is also available at most local book stores in theThousand Islands, on both sides of the border. <br /> <br /> The book will be launched on June 4th in Brockville, ON and on June 26th in Clayton NY.

The 1000 Islands, smaller in format than his subsequent publication, appealed to residents and tourists because of its accessible price and convenient size. The quality of the photographs and their presentation in a fine binding account for the remarkable success of the book.<br /> <br /> Volume II - <strong><em>Water, Wind and Sky </em></strong><br /> <br /> His second book is more an artistic celebration of the region's beauty.

His photographs have been reproduced internationally. <br /> <br /> Ian has shared his intimate views of the Thousand Islands in France, where they appeared in the national journal, Le Figaro. Volvo's<em> LIV magazine </em>featured his work in their <em>International Edition </em>which is distributed in countries around the world wherever their cars are sold.<br /> <br /> In addition, Ian was elected from photographers around the world as an “Image Master” by DxO Labs, a Paris based company that produces software for professional photographers.<br /> <br /> Volume III - <em><strong>The Thousand Islands </strong></em><br /> <br /> When Ian's first book, <strong><em>The 1000 Islands</em></strong>, sold out and required a fourth printing, he decided to replace it.

But it seems he couldn&rsquo;t put his camera down. Having captured almost 20,000 new images in the five years since, his 7th book, titled simply; Ian Coristine&rsquo;s 1000 Islands offers his best perspective yet of the 1000 Islands region.</p> <p>&nbsp;Coristine traditionally used his floatplane to capture the aerial images he is known for, but having sold the plane several years ago, he turned to a helicopter with the highest quality camera he&rsquo;s ever owned to continue to share his low-from-above perspective. Selecting from a library that now surpasses 50,000 images, this book is his best yet and this time, very likely his last.</p> <p>&ldquo;Volume VII will almost certainly be my last book for two important reasons. I&rsquo;ve always believed that the 1000 Islands deserve to be showcased in the highest quality form, so this book again features a physical level of quality seldom found in any regional or even international title. High-end enhancements such as spot gloss UV, a matte laminated richly padded cover and foil don&rsquo;t come cheaply and I wanted to reduce the price to increase the value&rdquo; says Coristine.</p> <p>&ldquo;The only way to do this was to commit to the largest print run I&rsquo;ve ever undertaken.&rdquo; This allowed producing a very high quality book while reducing the price to the lowest level since Volume I was released in 2002, despite the ensuing 13 years of inflation. It will sell for $25 U.S. or $30 Cdn.</p> <p>Beyond the many new images, Volume VII includes a significantly improved version of the popular map that has graced all his books&rsquo; inside covers to show the locations of each photograph. Coristine turned to a professional cartographer and his long time graphic designer to produce a much more sophisticated map which contains many new layers of information.</p> <p>&ldquo;The idea has always been to show all there is to do on the River and where they can be found, the kinds of things that aren&rsquo;t shown on road maps or charts.&rdquo; In addition to all the attractions and points of interest, Coristine&rsquo;s map pinpoints all the parks, lighthouses, shipwrecks, marinas with fuel, golf courses and much more. As well as gracing the book&rsquo;s end sheets, Coristine has produced a sophisticated Z-Fold map that easily fits in a pocket plus a full size laminated version intended for the cottage wall.</p> <p>Coristine&rsquo;s previous books have proven remarkably popular. Despite only being sold on the River, every one of his volumes has achieved bestseller status, with the total surpassing 100,000 copies sold. Two also won international Benjamin Franklin &ldquo;Benny&rdquo; Awards, while his interactive iPad eBook One in a Thousand garnered 5 star ratings in the iTunes stores in Canada and the U.S. as well as two MarCom Awards.

Everyday Christianity is reflected in its quiet pools: love and loss, temptation and triumph, despair, rebounding victories!

The New Frontenac was the crowning project of Charles Goodwin Emery an entrepreneur whose life straddled the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Emery's first enterprise was the purchase from his uncle Eben Goodwin of the tobacco company, Goodwin &amp; Co. in New York. Were he introduced a cigarette making machine and was the first to use baseball cards as a promotion. He placed them in packages of his Old Judge cigarettes. In 1890, Emery joined Goodwin &amp; Co. with James Buchanan Duke's American Tobacco Company. American would go on to become the tobacco trust. Emery was also part of the watch trust through his investment in the Crescent Watch Case Company. Abendroth and Root manufactured a handmade automobile called the Arco. Emery purchased the company around 1906 and changed the name of the car to the Frontenac. It was a high end car costing $4,000 and few were produced; only one remains in existence. Emery's over riding passion was the Thousand Islands region of the St. Lawrence River. There his world class New Frontenac Hotel would set new standards in service and luxury for a resort hotel. His Picton Island Red Granite Co. was another Thousand Islands project as well as farms on Picton and Grindstone Islands. The "black diamond" an area of Grindstone Island noted for the rich black soil was used to grow lettuce and celery. Add to this investments in large tracts of land in California, which later would produce one of the largest oil wells in the state, plus housing developments and you have the life of Charles Goodwin Emery. Toujour Jeune tells the story of the man and his investments.<br /> &#160;</p> <p align="left">See:&#160; <a href="http://www.charlesgemery.com/">Charles Emery Website </a>for details to purchase.&#160; Also available in Clayton book stores and on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Toujours-Jeune-Thousand-Islands-Frontenac/dp/images/1450575943">Amazon</a></p> <p>&#160;</p><BR> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 23:38:00 GMT Author 163 http://tilife.org/Books/tabid/397/agentType/View/PropertyID/163/Default.aspx Susie Smith 163 <b>Author's Name (ln,fn)</b>:&nbsp;Ennis, Rex<BR>Rex Ennis<BR><b>Rich Text Description</b>:&nbsp;<p style="margin-left:3.75pt;">Book Review: &nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-left:3.75pt;">Rexford M. Ennis (Rex) has been researching the history of the Gilded Age for several years. In 2010 he published&nbsp;</span>Toujours Jeune Always Young,&nbsp;the biography of Charles G. Emery and the history of the New Frontenac Hotel. A voracious researcher, Rex has spent countless hours finding important research material and keeping track of people,&nbsp;places&nbsp;and events.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:3.75pt;">Rex was always intrigued by a particular island-construction story .&ldquo;In the early 1990s Mrs. Dean B. Thomas required some foundation work at her cottage, &lsquo;Sunrise&rsquo; at Westminster Park&rdquo; he writes, &ldquo;She hired Thousand Islands builder, Steve Taylor, to make the repairs.&rdquo; One of the Taylor associates, Bill&nbsp;Strodel&nbsp;began preparing the walls to allow the building to be jacked-up. As he removed the wall covering he found rolled up in the wall the 1898 Frank H. Taylor Map of the Thousand Islands; Hotels, parks and cottages.&rdquo;</span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:3.75pt;">The map was given to the Thousand Islands Land Trust to publish and was given to new members who supported TILT (with a $100 plus gift) in its 1995 capital campaign. Rex, a donor, began to find out who were these early islanders. There were over 109 properties designated on the Taylor map and he wanted to know more about them!</span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:3.75pt;">There are hundreds of biographies, in alphabetical order, in the book. Two of my favorites would be considered as Sinners:</span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:3.75pt;">Miller, Mrs. Isabella Maxwell (1846- ), Mulcaster Island (AKA: Sugar Island), home: Perth ONT, Mrs. Miller was the widowed sister of the somewhat rakish John Graham Haggart, Member of Canadian Parliament. &ldquo;Haggart was considered briefly for the national leadership. He may have suffered, however, from innuendo relating to his difficult marriage and his womanizing on Parliament Hill, and from his reputation as an idler and &ldquo;a Bohememian,&rdquo; as Lady Aberdeen viewed him in 1894. (Haggart and his wife may have been living apart since as early as (1871.) he will be best remembered as one of the seven men, the next of the traitors: Bowell called them, who resigned briefly from Bowell&rsquo;s cabinet in January 1896. All thought Bowell was inept. One of the leaders of this withdrawal, Haggart earned Bowell&rsquo;s particular enmity for bluntly declaring that the prime minister, &ldquo;from day to day, from time to time, like a sick girl hanging onto life, had refused to resign&rdquo; [Sic] Dictionary of Canadian Biography On line, Larry Turner, University of Toronto.&ldquo; Page 85.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:3.75pt;">Myers, Ephraim H. ( 1848-?) and Ada, Round Island Lot #174, home: Carthage NY and Vilas, SD, banker and real estate developer. He founded and developed Vilas, Miner Co. SD including founding the Vilas Times. He was Cashier of the First Nation Bank of Carthage for many years, then in January 1887, he was elected President and Director. He was a member of the Carthage Railroad Commission. The Commission&rsquo;s objective was to persuade a railroad to come (to) Carthage for its annual shipping of 200,000 tons of freight. He was a director of the bank in Philadelphia NY and the Merchants and Manufacturers Exchange.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:3.75pt;">&ldquo;One night in April 1893, he absconded from the town aboard a train, taking substantial deposits with him, scandalizing the town of Carthage and environs: Myers Family Roots web Page. According to the New York Times , 4 May, 1898 Myers made off with over $110,000 over a period of eight year by cooking the books&hellip;&rdquo; Page 89.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:3.75pt;">All of the biographies give an incredible snapshot of Thousand Islands life in the Gilded Age: between the Civil War and the First World War. The descriptions focus on both sides of the border. The book does not contain the map, but the references to the islands are easy to decipher.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:3.75pt;">&ldquo;Saints, Sinners &amp; Sailors of the Gilded Age&rdquo; by Rex Ennis is available in local&nbsp;book stores&nbsp;in Clayton as well as on Amazon at $18.95.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:3.75pt;">Rex has written more than a dozen articles for&nbsp;TI Life.&nbsp; To see them all search here:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.thousandislandslife.com/BackIssues/Archive/tabid/393/articleType/AuthorView/authorID/241/Rex.aspx">Rex Ennis</a>&nbsp;and well as on our&nbsp;<a href="http://www.thousandislandslife.com/ThePlace/History/HistoryArticles/tabid/484/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/206/Shortest-Railroad-in-the-United-States.aspx">History page</a>.&nbsp; And be sure to visit his website at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.charlesgemery.com/Emery.htm" title="http://www.charlesgemery.com/Emery.htm">http://www.charlesgemery.com/Emery.htm</a>. &nbsp;</span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:3.75pt;">Susan W.

McIntyre.</span><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; ">During the course of his career, McIntyre published thousands of views including the visits of two sitting US Presidents to the 1000 Islands — Ulysses Grant in 1872 and Chester Arthur ten years later.&#160; He traveled in a circle of nationally known photographers including George Monroe (personal photography teacher of George Eastman of Eastman Kodak) and the famous civil war photographer, Mathew Brady.</span><span style="font-family:&quot;Century-Book&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-hansi-font-family:Century-Book;mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; ">The book is divided into three sections.&#160; The first section highlights the early growth of tourism in the region with the rise of grand hotels such as the Crossmon House (currently the site of Capt. Thomson’s Resort) and the Thousand Island House — two of the largest hotels in the region at the time. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; ">The second section highlights several of the luxurious private camps built by early, wealthy vacationers such as George Pullman (of the Pullman Palace Car Company), Harry Packer (a Pennsylvania railroad magnate), and J.G. Holland’s Bonnie Castle. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; ">The last section examines the history of Religious Camp Meeting Grounds in the area, beginning with one of the first at Summerland Island (established by, among others, George Pullman’s brother, James; and Almon Gunnison of St. Lawrence University) and continuing with Thousand Island Park and Westminster Park.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Most of the views included in the book come from a collection jointly owned by the author and his mother, Nellie Taylor of Thousand Island Park.&#160; Jack Brown, Brockville, Ontario, noted McIntyre expert and collector made significant contributions to the book as well in the form of stereocards and providing access to his research.&#160;&#160; There are also a number of views from the collection of Dan Grant, Clayton, New York.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small; ">Award-Winning Canadian Graphic Designer Dave O'Malley of </span><span style="font-size: small; "><a href="http://www.aerographics.ca/history/history.html"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; ">Aerographics Creative Services</span></a> in Ottawa designed the layout.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Tom French teaches English in Massena, NY.&#160; His work has been featured in <i>Thousand Island Life.com, Mac|Life, Adirondack Life, Stereo World, </i>and<i> The Watertown Daily Times. </i><b>&#160;</b>Several of his commentaries have aired on <i>North Country Public Radio. </i></span><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; ">In addition to its availability online, the book is available at several storefronts in the 1000 Islands region including Corbin’s River Heritage and The Antique Boat Museum Gift Shop in Clayton; The Magical Swan, The Ship, and La Boutique in Alexandria Bay: Earth to Spirit Fair Trade Co., 340 King St. and the Novel Idea, 156 Princess St. in Kingston, the Arthur Child Heritage Museum in Gananoque; and Leeds County Books in Brockville.</span></p> <p>&#160;</p><BR> Wed, 15 Jun 2011 03:55:00 GMT Author 100 http://tilife.org/Books/tabid/397/agentType/View/PropertyID/100/Default.aspx Susie Smith 100 <b>Author's Name (ln,fn)</b>:&nbsp;Gargione, Silvana <BR>Silvana Gargione, Author, Megan Gaffney, Illustrator <BR><b>Rich Text Description</b>:&nbsp;<p><strong><em>&#160;St. Lawrence ABCs</em></strong> is a historical non-fiction picture book written by <strong>Silvana Gargione</strong>, a summer resident of Wellesley Island, and illustrated by <strong>Megan Gaffney</strong>, a summer resident of Bartlett Point.&#160;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">The book features island, boats, plants, and animals of the 1000 Islands region.&#160; St. Lawrence ABCs is filled with beautiful color illustrations and interesting historical facts.&#160; <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">The book also includes an original map and a glossary of the islands, places, boats and animals mentioned.&#160; It is a 40 page hardcover book with a dust jacket.&#160; It will surely be cherished as a bedtime book for kids and a keepsake book for adults.&#160;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">There is a download of the interactive and lively MP3, read by the author, to aid your little ones in following along with the book at home, in the car, on the boat, or wherever life takes them!<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&#160;</o:p>Hardcover Book , Price $22.95<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Hardcover Book + Digital Download, Price $25.00<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">For more information visit <a href="http://stlawrenceabcs.com/">St. Lawrence ABCs</a><o:p></o:p></p> <p>&#160;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><BR> Tue, 12 Jun 2012 02:46:00 GMT Author 134 http://tilife.org/Books/tabid/397/agentType/View/PropertyID/134/Default.aspx Susie Smith 134 <b>Author's Name (ln,fn)</b>:&nbsp;Hartshorn<BR>Nicole Hartshorn <BR><b>Rich Text Description</b>:&nbsp;<p>&nbsp;</p> <h2 itemprop="name">&nbsp;</h2> <h2 itemprop="name">River Entertaining: &nbsp;<small>Food and Drink Ideas for Boaters In the Thousand Islands by <a href="http://www.friesenpress.com/bookstore/search/Nicole%20Hartshorn" title="Search by Nicole Hartshorn"><span itemprop="author">Nicole Hartshorn</span></span></span></a></small></h2> <p>See <a href="http://www.thousandislandslife.com/BackIssues/Archive/tabid/393/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1485/River-Entertaininghellip-by-Nicole-Hartshorn.aspx">TI Life Book Review,</a> March 2014&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>About the book:</strong> Boaters enjoy the simple life, the simpler the better!

They should know that one of my favorite memories is of them taking me and my two sisters to the Thousand Islands on family vacations. This is when my curiosity of the river first began! As I got older, I found myself making that trip to the river more and more and decided to make my stays a bit longer. I&rsquo;d happily spend my whole summers bopping around from campground to campground, exploring as much as I could and getting out on the water every chance I got. I would land myself seasonal jobs at local restaurants in order to get by as I fell in love with the area. Well not only did I fall in love with the river, I fell in love with my now husband, Tom, who shares the same passion for the St. Lawrence as I do! Now residing in central NY, my family and I make it up to the St. Lawrence as often as life will let us. We are avid boaters on our Sea Ray Sundancer named Our Wedding. My husband and I hope to create the same great memories for our little boy as our parents have for us. We feel the river is not only in our lives but our way of life!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>978-1-4602-3369-6 Paperback</li> <li>978-1-4602-3370-2 eBook</li> </ul> <p>Paperback: &nbsp;<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: normal;">$21.99 (New Price)</span></span></span></p> <p>ebook: &nbsp;$2.99</p> <p><a href="http://www.friesenpress.com/bookstore/title/119734000002386645/Nicole-Hartshorn-River-Entertaining">FreisenPress.com</a></p> <BR> Fri, 14 Mar 2014 19:21:00 GMT
