Time Warp

1927 Theatre in Haliburton Highlands plus General James Wolfe


Listen Later

This week, Kate delves into a back copy of the Echo newspaper from February 1927 to show the deep roots of local culture and theatre in the Haliburton Highlands. Plus, Paul builds on the story of Fort Louisburg from the last episode of the TimeWarp to tell the tale of British General James Wolfe who at the age of 32 commanded the flotilla deployed to capture Quebec City from the French during the Seven Years War. He met the French army on the Plains of Abraham where both Wolfe and the French commander, Montcalm, died of wounds inflicted during the battle.
