Ron Brown has traversed this most southern coast line in Ontario, fleshing out forgotten stories of the past, from accounts of the world’s largest freshwater fishing fleet, War of 1812 skirmishes, links with the Underground Railroad, forgotten outposts and canals, the introduction of wineries, and the legacy of the many appealing towns and villages that hug the shoreline.
Ron Brown has published many books including Back Roads of Ontario, Toronto's Lost Villages, and Ontario's Ghost Town Heritage. He is a member of the Travel Media Association of Canada and chaired The Writers' Union of Canada. He lives in Toronto.
