This week, Kate chats about what the end of the school year would have been like for kids in Haliburton County in the late 1800's and early 1900's. It might sound somewhat familiar - without the electronic devices - but there's always the old swimming hole. Plus, Paul talks about Isobel Gunn - a young lady from the Orkney Islands who fought gender stereotypes by assuming a male identity in the early 1800's to travel and adventure in the Canadian fur trade.....until the delivery of a baby boy revealed her true identity.
