Pauline Johnson ~  On Thursday, July 5, at 1:00 p.m.

Reading & Round Table Discussion on poet Pauline Johnson.  Join John Passfield and friends in The Neat Little Bookshop for a fascinating study of the Canadian writer and performer.

". . . by the time she was eleven [Pauline} was allowed to go farther from home to explore the reserve.  She was fascinated by the the Grand River which bisected the reserve and flowed right past the Johnson's front door.

"On this beautiful river, Pauline was now taught to paddle a canoe by her brothers, who were as skilled as any of their Mohawk neighbours.  She soon knew every shallow and rapid on the river and paddled her single-blade canoe "Wildcat" as if she had been born on the water. . .for the rest of her life, canoeing was to be her special love and the means by which she increased her stamina."
