About this episode

This episode covers the survival story of William Hartle and the complexities of Canadian Confederation in New Brunswick.

This week, Kate has the story of 1860's pioneers in Haliburton County - the Hartle family and the dramatic survical story of William Hartle on a trapping expedition. Plus, Paul has the continuing story of how the story of Canadian Confederation was never a foregone conclusion or an easy road. This week it's New Brunswick where Confederation was resoundingly rejected, and then ressurected a year later to become a yes. Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices. Haliburton County is in cottage country about 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto. You can contact us at timewarp@canoefm.com
