The Canadian Canoe Company and the Early Peterborough Canoe Factories by Ken Brown examines the history of canoe building in an intriguing way, by telling the story of the business of canoe manufacturing. It brings to life stories and entrepreneurs once lost in business legers and historical documents. By focusing on the origins and fortunes of one of Peterborough's local canoe companies, author Ken Brown presents a broader narrative, one that ranges from the early days, when creative canoe-building pioneers first began to practice their craft in the region, through the glory days of the industry, when ambitious manufacturing concerns distributed many thousands of "Peterborough" and "Canadian" canoes around the globe.
