THE CAMBOOSE SHANTY in ALGONQUIN PARK: WINTER HOME OF THE EARLY PINE LOGGERS
Algonquin Provincial Park is in the logging country of the Ottawa Valley; there was logging there long before it was set aside as a park and forest reserve back in 1893. Much of the colonial history of the 19th Century of the entire Ottawa Valley, including the area that became Algonquin Park, was closely tied to the cutting of Red Pine and White Pine. The men of the early pine logging, who worked in the woods, needed shelter in the form of the camboose shanty. There are overgrown and barely visible camboose shanty remains scattered throughout the Park, very difficult to find.

J.R. BOOTH: LUMBERMAN, RAILWAY BUILDER, INDUSTRIALIST, GREAT CANADIAN, AND INFLUENCE ON ALGONQUIN PARK
After arriving in Ottawa in 1854, John Rudolphus Booth (1827 – 1925) made wooden roof shingles by hand. With interests in square timber rafts, sawn lumber, pulp and paper, transportation of grain by ship, and operation of his own railways, by 1921 he had built “the largest business in the entire world operated as the property of one man”. At any one time he employed thousands of men. Booth was resistant to setbacks and dedicated to working hard. This is the story of one of Canada’s greatest men.
