Finds in the cabin!

[Lindsey]

I forgot to tell you guys about some of the cool stuff I found in our cabin last week! As most of you know, it's an old farmhouse we moved out and it was built in the 20's. The first day out there, I went upstairs where there were stacks of old books and papers that were left behind. Most of them were novels... an old copy of Treasure Island, some western novels, some school readers... And then I found a very old "Modern Geography of Canada" book. I looked inside and WOW... Canada then looked nothing like Canada now! I took it down to show my mom and grandma and we looked all over for a publishing date. Finally we found it - 1899!

Besides that we found a lot of university transcripts, old magazines, and some children's games! I guess there was also a Ouji board in there, and the woman we got the house from is very superstitious and HATED that Ouji board, so my parents took it out of the cabin and are going to sneak out to their farm and leave it on her front porch for a scare LOL

Anyways, here's pretty much what that map looked like! http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/c...-2101.9-e.html I think BC and the Yukon are the only things that have stayed the same in the last 110 years! Well, and the maritimes, but islands don't change too much!
