Ninety-one years ago on July 8, 1917, Canadian landscape painter Tom Thomson
drowned in Algonquin Park's Canoe Lake. In 2006, from July 4 to July 16, when his body
was recovered, I wrote a series of short essays about Tom Thomson's painting in
Algonquin; his first girlfriend, Alice Elinor Lambert; his older brother, George Thomson; his
last girlfriend, Winnifred Trainor and much more, drawing from my book, Algonquin Elegy:
Tom Thomson's Last Spring. Click on the links below to read them. The Tragically Hip
essay appears to be the most popular so far. Recently, I have added four more.
