In tracing its documented history from the 1790s to the 1850s, author Grant Karcich unravels mysteries; explores the lifestyles of early First Nations; provides background on local archaeological sites; and introduces the intrepid early surveyors, fur traders, missionaries, colourful characters, and entrepreneurial immigrant settlers from both the newly formed United States and the United Kingdom. In their wake come the demon whiskey, devastating plagues, competing world views, saddlebag preachers, and ultimately the marginalization of the First Nations people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Scugog Trail assumes a significant role in the transition of the land, from forest to agriculture to villages, towns, and industrial centres. Long-forgotten cabins, cemeteries, and a cartographic mystery involving the infamous \u003ci\u003eCabane de Plomb\u003c\/i\u003e add to the mystique. The trail bore witness to the development of communities, such as Oshawa, Harmony, Columbus, Prince Albert, Port Perry, Seagrave, Cannington, and Beaverton, whose stories also unfold. \u003ci\u003eScugog Carrying Place\u003c\/i\u003e is a must read for history buffs, genealogists, archaeologists, and anyone with roots in this part of Ontario.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrant Karcich has written articles on Canadian history and books on genealogy, and has given presentations on local history and anthropology over the past 10 years.
