Henry, a third generation Vankoughnett in Foley had just gotten married and had his first child. The Vankoughnetts arrived on Blackstone by 1889. Canoe routes from the Muskoka Lakes outwards provided a lot of opportunities to the more adventurous hunters and fishermen. They could choose from the various chained lakes and river. The Chains include: Muskoka River Chain (through Lake Vernon), the Seguin Chain (to Parry Sound), Magnetawan River (Burk 's Falls and Ahmic Lake), South Branch Chain (Lake of Bays and the Madawaska River), Muskosh River Chain (Muskoka River, Bracebridge, Port Carling and the Crane or Blackstone Lake Chain (to Georgian Bay).

Although he and his party fished for 11 days in Mill Lake he seemed to be envious on meeting these other fisherman from Crane and Blackstone. Mr. Beebe and company 's best effort was a 31⁄2…

The next collection of books published by him would be called “The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.” It was actually published in multiple installments and included two of his most well-known creations,…

first place I’m oppressed is my social class, sub-working. For the last 5 years, while I have worked, I haven’t had a paid job.
