Excerpt from Oliphant and Its Islands, Lake Huron: Historical and Descriptive Sketches Indian occupation Of the days of Indian occupation of the Saugeen Peninsula and its Islands, Time and Tradition have left us only a few traces. The first tribe known to have inhabited the region was a band of the Algonquins called the Ottawas, who were here in the sixteenth century, doubtless the Cheveux relevez (straight-up hair), mentioned by Champlain. Later this tribe gave way to a band of the Ojibway Indians from the Lake Superior district; and at the same time, at least one tribe of Hurons lived on the shore in the beautiful spot known as Red Bay. In the beginning of the seventeenth century the two tribes came into conflict with each other and in a bloody battle on the shore of this bay, the Hurons killed so many of the Ojibways that their blood colored the water a deep red from whence came the name.

First published in 1952, The Bruce Beckons was immediately acclaimed as a delightful guide to a uniquely beautiful and fascinating part of Ontario. Separating Georgian Bay from Lake Huron, the Bruce Peninsula's remarkable natural history and richly varied wildlife today continue to draw thousands of visitors every year. W. Sherwood Fox, a distinguished scholar who was for twenty years president of the University of Western Ontario, knew and loved the Bruce’s history and its folklore throughout his life. During his retirement he served several years as honorary president of the Federation of Ontario Naturalists.
