For a few years in the 1830s, Ottawa was a very different place. Called Bytown at the time, it was more a Gangs of New York type of place, rather than a future capital of Canada. During the reign of terror of the Shiners, no one was safe from violence.

The Doukhobors came to Canada at the turn of the 20th century, and were welcomed with open arms by Canadians.

Charlotte Small

Canadian History Ehx ·

2023/01/17

David Thompson is my favourite Canadian historical figure, but there is another person who is part of his story and played a major role in his success; his wife...Charlotte Small. Together, the couple were married for 58 years, having 11 children, several of whom were born and raised while exploring. She is a fascinating person, and much more than a footnote in the story of Thompson. Artwork/logo design by Janet Cordahi Support: patreon.com/canadaehx Merch: www.canadaehx.com/shop Donate:
