Timmins The Porcupine Country

This is the story of the winners and the losers in the scramble to find gold in Northern Ontario in the early 1900s. In these pages we meet Noah Timmins, who gambled with one fortune and made two others; Fred Schumacher, who always doubled his price if a deal didn't go through the first time; Roy Thomson, who use to gall and drive to turn debt and junk into a media empire; and Joe Hirshorn, who promised to develop a mine when the alternative was to be thrown out of a window.Barnes, Michael is the author of 'Timmins The Porcupine Country', published 1991 under ISBN 9781550460506 and ISBN 1550460501.
