The Lost World of River de Chute by author Bill Gregory Bishop Terlecki - writer/screenwriter, photographer and actor, filmmaker. First published in 1999, this is the first new edition since 2003, a 240 page comprehensive photo bio history of the Canadian American border community in Carleton and Victoria Counties at the St John River. Named in 1604 by French fur trappers for the falls, the area is known as Segadeeopskawayik by the Indigenous. Many photos are derived from single 8mm movie frames. Detailing the long gone saw and gristmills, farms, bridges, post offices, stores, school and much more, this a journey through time with hundreds of photos and illustrations of the author, his WW II photographer father Bill, and many other contributors. The Walking Tour sections begin at the north line of Bairdsville through to the south line of Clearview along the St John River near the Easton Maine border. "Walk," visit people, places, and learn of their long-gone experiences. Meander from the late 1800's to the 1950s and 1960s when massive changes from the building of the Beechwood Dam, and soon after, the Trans Canada Highway project - to be opened in time for Expo '67, expropriated and carved out hills, farms and fields. These changes made River de Chute unrecognizable to those who remember the old. Other sections include local notables such as mechanical TV inventor Hollis Baird, war vets, social news and personal diaries, churches and cemeteries, original land grants and early settlers, local colloquialisms, the recessional effects after the 1980s into this century, and the River de Chute one room school exam section derived from actual River de Chute school books of the depression era. Compare today's knowledge, (or lack of it) when reading the answers and scoring: medicine, science, grammar, etiquette, Greek history, and Latin - for ten-to-teens to know! For those who find history boring, The Lost World of River de Chute is anything but!
