FUR, THE TRADE THAT PUT UPPER CANADA ON THE MAP, by Ralph Bice, is the story and account of trapping in Canada, and the history of the Ontario Trappers Association.
This book is based in part on the writings and recollections of veteran trapper, Ralph Bice who was also an Algonquin Park Guide, founding member of the Ontario Trappers Association and a well known newspaper columnist in the North.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ralph Bice (1900-1997) of Kearney, Ontario, was known for writing that was a combination of unequalled park knowledge, remarkable outdoor adventures and delightful rustic humour. In 1993, the time of Algonquin Park's Centennial, the "Grand Old Man of Algonquin" had entered his 94th year. He was to continue to live nearby his beloved park until his passing in 1997. Remembered not only for his writings, Ralph Bice is honoured by a fitting memorial to "Mister Algonquin" as Algonquin Park visitors will now discover when they enter the west side of the park. For here the lake he favoured over all others, Butt Lake, has been renamed Ralph Bice Lake.
