Andrea, I imagine you are right! The timber barons were wealthy business men who developed the lumber trade in the Ottawa Valley. Their vision has had a lasting impact on the history, economy and culture of the area. My Irish ancestors worked for the first gentleman, Philemon Wright, so he is of special interest to me. Thanks for stopping by!
