SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society Fall Author Series: Mark Bourrie ("Bush Runner: The Adventures of Pierre-Esprit Radisson")
DESCRIPTION:Join us on September 23rd for the first evening in our author’s series! \nMark Bourrie will speak about the research process for his book Bush Runner: The Adventures of Pierre-Esprit Radisson\, which tells the extraordinary true story of the 17th-century figure\, a man more trading partner than colonizer\, a peddler of goods and not worldview—and with it offers a fresh perspective on the world in which he lived. Using Radisson’s journals\, which are the best first-hand accounts of 17th century Canada\, Bourrie will provide insight into the sources used to bring Radisson’s story to life. \nKnown to some as the first European to explore the upper Mississippi\, and widely as the namesake of ships and hotel chains\, Pierre-Esprit Radisson is perhaps best described\, writes Mark Bourrie\, as “an eager hustler with no known scruples.” Kidnapped by Mohawk warriors at the age of fifteen\, Radisson assimilated and was adopted by a powerful family\, only to escape to New York City after less than a year. After being recaptured\, he defected from a raiding party to the Dutch and crossed the Atlantic to Holland—thus beginning a lifetime of seized opportunities and frustrated ambitions.

Post-Pandemic\, Post-Fire \nWesley Church was built by village settlers in 1860 and served as the heart of the community till 1969. \nThe Wesleyville congregation was moved to Welcome United Church and the building sat empty (but conserved) till 2009 when the Friends of Wesleyville Village leased it from the United Church. \nWithin 3 years it was restored by volunteers and serves as rural heritage community centre for all sorts of activities. Our hearts were broken by the fire on Easter Saturday 2021… but we will recover with community support. \n\nSaturday Tours – Sunday Country Markets \nMarket offers treasures\, handicrafts\, food & collectibles \nBewdley Lions delicious lunches 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. \nBooks\, plants & prints \nHandicrafts\, jewelry and treasures galore \nExplore the nature trail
