Transportation Tales: How Our Ancestors Got Around

TRANSPORTATION TALES: HOW OUR ANCESTORS GOT AROUND

 

Lady Agnes rode the cowcatcher of one of the first trains to rumble west from Ottawa to the British Columbia coast. A canoe-paddling fur trader saw a mermaid in Lake Superior. A Nova Scotia Noah & his followers built "arks" to take them from Pictou to Cape Breton & finally to New Zealand. Horses bolted, running away with a Saskatchewan farmer being chased by his estranged wife in a Hudson Terraplane car.

Come & hear these & other old-time transportation tales from Elma (Martens) Schemenauer's newest books, YESTERCANADA: HISTORICAL TALES OF MYSTERY AND ADVENTURE and the 1940s novel CONSIDER THE SUNFLOWERS.

branding yourself as an author

If you're an author, you may want to consider "branding" yourself as one. Good article on that here: https://tinyurl.com/y9ehaxpg . (A somewhat corny brand I use is "Elma Mary from the Prairie." If you want to see that, visit my website: http://elmams.wixsite.com/elma .)
