4.9/5 (29739 ratings)

Description:Uncovers the transformation of Muskoka from an Indigenous, rural homeland to a playground for tourists and cottagers. At the turn of the twentieth century, Muskoka underwent a profound transition. Over this period, settler colonialism upended Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee communities. However, settlers discovered that the land was unsuited for farming, and soon thereafter tourism became a fact of life. Andrew Watson examines rural identity, tensions between large- and household-scale logging operations, and the dramatic effects of consumer culture and a shift toward fossil fuels on settlers’ ability to control tourism. Tracing the region’s evolution from 1870 to 1920 , Making Muskoka uncovers the lived experiences of rural communities shaped by tourists at a time when sustainable opportunities for a sedentary life were few on the Canadian Shield, revealing the consequences for those living there year-round.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
