Love, Ray: - Ray Love is a retired educator living and writing in Muskoka, Ontario. He is a frequent visitor to a family camp on the French River which is where he first heard of the Georgian Bay Ship Canal scheme. His academic background in geography and history and strong interest in stories from Muskoka's past were the impetus for his three previous books. These can be viewed on his web site at raylovemuskoka.com. This is his fourth book published through Friesen Press and his first book on a topic of nationwide interest.
