Excellent piece of local history. Well written and nicely laid-out.

Good read if you want to know the history of this area. It also mentions the sault (the residential school and people who were from here involved in some of the cases). Some of the murders and the disappearance mentioned have left me intrigued. I wonder as more people develop the area if any clues might be found. I'll hopefully be spending the summer working there so who knows, maybe I'll find something. I wish the author had talked more about the indigenous peoples in the area but since the topic was general I can forgive him for that. It's a topic that merits its own book.
