Deep Waters - Excellent research and insight
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Living just over an hour from the site of where this tragedy took place, I had never heard about the Lake Timiskaming tragedy until I was introduced to this book. Raffan did an excellent job writing this documentary style book. A lot of time and effort was put into researching the background and history of the St. John's school so as to see the reasoning behind the boys' challenges. From the snowshoeing excursions at the first school in Manitoba, to the modifications on the canoes, the book is written with extreme detail. The events of the canoe trip are told through the eyes of the surviving boys and masters, which provided a needed human touch. It was difficult to read the survivors' accounts and realize how close the entire group came to death. I recommend this book for anyone interested in the outdoors, canoeing, and camping trips. By being exposed to the mistakes of others, we can prevent this from ever happening again.
