PEMBROKE REVIEWED BY BARRY EINCELE’Y “Great flntlllns at canoes, sometimes with hundreds of Inâ€" dian and fiench paddlers and traders, and later the traders of the Nnrthwest Company and the Hudson's Bay Company, travell- ed the Ottawa Most ot the canoe traffic was simply the demand in Europe [or hairs tram beaver skins, used in make lelt hats, But missionaries, explorers, dour» iers de bots, lumbermen, scien- tists and settlers used the river as a highway for their quests" Sn writes Clyde Kennedy 0! the Ottawa River in his new bank “The Upper Ottawa Valley" re- centiy published by fienl‘rew County Council. This interesting book is hardly a history in the usual sense of the word in that it is not quite a systematic re- cord of all that happened in the past in the Valley but rather an intormative reflection of statics of special events and episodes which belong as part of our his- 105’. Mr, Kennedy goes on‘ “Along the tributaries of the Ottawa, particularly the Madawaska, the Bunnet‘here and Petawawa riv- ers an everrlncreaslng number of today‘s explorers paddle ancr ient canoe routes, collect ruin- orals and fossils, visit historic mill silos, search tor long nhan~ doned lumber camps and timber ‘siides, seek Signs 01' the two-mile t thick sheet of glacial ice that lett its abrasions on the P113 Cambrian rocks or this scratch» ed-up land, or View the great faults in the earth‘s restless crust." Lt you have any claim to be- longing Io this band or “explor- ers” ~ or have any share in their interests you'll like the “Upper Ottawa Valley". Of it, die 01.- tawa Journal said “We suspect Mr. Kennedy is challenging his readers, both resident and visit: or, to learn a bit more about that tnscinnttnz history of this aren,l and in this way loin-n tn nppm‘ late mare fully both our heritage and our surroundings," Mr. Kennedy was commisslonâ€" ed by Renfrew County Council to write this book because of his very extensive knowledge at the Valley and its history. He has travelled the Valley from one end to the other, much of it on {not and he has made himself famil- iar With its most interesting lent- ures. He has interviewed local reâ€" sidents as well as writers, sclen- , tlsts and authorities from far and l wide whose names are given in H chapter of credits and he has read and studied scores 01 books and papers the titles or which are also listed, Few parts of Ontario have as much history as the Upper Otâ€" tawa Valley and in his book Mr, Kennedy covers many at ihs phases. Theserange lrom.“Roclts and Seas" laid dawn millions of years ago to “Chalk River" and “Pioneering Nuclear Power" dealing With events of the last quarter‘century. But as pointed out by another well-known historian of the Vail- ey, Mr. Harry J. Walker, in his introduction of the book: Limit- ed space has allowed him er. Kennedy) to present only a tracâ€" tion at the historical informa- tion he has gathered but this is a tastinafing fraction," The book is printed on high grade paper and is profusely ill- ustrated with over 200 pictures, maps and drawings, many of which are being published for the first Lime. The book is high- ly recommended as an addition to any library.
