The Don Valley
The Don Valley was virtually uninhabited when I first knew it. There were a few old houses, some sheds, a few mills, mill dams and the tracings of onetime mill races, abandoned orchards and straggling lilac bushes. These were the most visible signs of a vanished pioneer life. (Tales of the Don, p. 15)
The Forks of the Don in the '20s and '30s was sylvan, serene and naturally beautiful. Huges graceful elms stood along the river banks and on the flood plain, over which cattle roamed. (Tales of the Don, p. 17)
