Life in a Thundering Bay: Voices from Thunder Bay's Past is a remarkable collection of stories that bring to life the early days of the frontier Canadian towns of Fort William and Port Arthur (Ontario) located on Lake Superior.  Many of these stories were lost or difficult to find and now, for the first time, have been brought together in a book.  In their own words, pioneers of Northern Ontario describe their unforgettable experiences: read about Catherine Moodie Vickers' spectacular canoe journey to Kakabeka Falls in 1873; witness a 1883 street fight in Port Arthur; relive J. C. Bank's frozen nightmare on Lake Superior during the Great Storm of 1893. These stories remind us that life on the North Shore of Lake Superior has always been a gamble and an adventure, which makes for great reading.
