Recreation and Sport are an integral part of Canadian culture. This is nowhere more evident than in the Muskoka District of Ontario. Beginning in the 1860s, people from more populated areas of Southern Ontario and the North Eastern United States flocked to Muskoka to enjoy nature's bounty. They came to fish, hunt, canoe, sail, swim, hike and explore. Many vacationed at one of the ever expanding selection of Muskoka resorts. Others built their own recreational retreats or cottages. Also beginning in the 1860s, Free Land Grant recipients ventured to the area to take land and attempt to farm it. They became the permanent population base and set about developing their own recreations and sporting organizations. This book surveys the attempts of all of Muskoka's residents and visitors to enjoy the recreational opportunities the region provided. The main focus of this local history is on how people in the past used recreation and sport to enhance their lives. In other words, what they did for exercise and fun.

The history of Ontario's premier cottage destination, Muskoka, was not commonplace or uneventful. Beginning in the 1860's, emigrants from the British Isles and Europe were lured to this desolate region with the promise of free land grants for farming. What they found were mature forests, swamp, and never ending rock. Their heroic attempts to make a living farming on the Precambrian Shield did not come without considerable discomfort. Pioneer Muskoka documents the struggles faced by these early homesteaders and their response to hardship, isolation, disease and poverty. This is the tale of a community banding together to overcome fear with courage and determination. Readers will be astounded by the lengths these settlers went in their quest to make a home for themselves and future generations in Muskoka. The eventual shift from farming to more profitable industries such as lumber and tourism brought a shift in attitude towards this now highly sought after locale. The first families, through their enormous efforts, were able to create this positive and enduring change.

Muskoka. Now a premier destination for nature tourists and wealthy cottagers, the region underwent a profound transition at the turn of the twentieth century. Making Muskoka uncovers the connections between lived experience and identity in rural communities shaped by tourism at a time when sustainable opportunities for a sedentary life were few on the Canadian Shield. This rocky section of Ontario was transformed from an Indigenous homeland to a settler community and a part-time playground for tourists and cottagers. But what were the consequences for those who lived there year-round?

Bracebridge! A MUSKOKA HERITAGE is an intriguing, easy to read description of the trials and tribulations of the explorers, surveyors, adventurers, pioneers and settlers that travelled through and settled the Bracebridge area of the District of Muskoka in Ontario, Canada. It describes some of the zany characters and their antics, the pioneer entrepreneurs and highlights features of the Bracebridge/Central Muskoka community. Sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, it is based on the many books, manuals, and newspaper reports written on the Bracebridge area, and the writers own experience. It also includes quotations from the personal diaries of some of the pioneers and early settlers that describe the desperate situation faced by those who came to Muskoka thinking that it presented the glorious agricultural opportunity that was advertised in the widely distributed promotional material. Much of the material was very misleading and as a result thousands suffered indescribable hardships. The writer, who grew up in the small settlement of Ufford near Bracebridge amidst the descendants of those early settlers, had the fortuitous opportunity of talking with those who knew first-hand the difficulties experienced by their ancestors and from a young age developed a strong interest in the history of the area.
