Episode 12: A Chat with Roderick MacKay on Life in a 19th Century Camboose Shanty

This second of three episodes on logging in Algonquin Park shares anecdotes as to what life in the logging camboose shanties of the 19th Century was all about.  I decided to go directly to the source and is an interview with Roderick MacKay (known as Rory) a subject matter expert on the camboose shanty both as a historian, archeologist, and as the resident blacksmith at Algonquin Park’s annual Logging  Days event at the Logging Museum, hosted by the Friends of Algonquin Park.
