Reluctant Pioneer by Thomas Osborne
In the 1870s in Ontario's Muskoka, teenager Thomas Osborne endured starvation, freezing, accidents with axes and boats, and narrow escapes from wolves and bears. Decades later, after moving to the United States, Osborne wrote down all his adventures in a graphic memoir four years before his death in 1938.
[Osborne’s] adventures make for an exciting story full of escapades, back -breaking work, isolation and ingenuity. . Readers will also enjoy the accounts of all the people they met during their time in the North Portage. * The Bracebridge Examiner *
