Book Synopsis Who Killed Tom Thomson? by : John Little
Download or read book Who Killed Tom Thomson? written by John Little and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tom Thomson was Canada's Vincent van Gogh. He painted for a period of five years before meeting his untimely death in a remote wilderness lake in July 1917. He was buried in an unofficial grave close to the lake where his body was found. About eight hours after he was buried, the coroner arrived but never examined the body and ruled his death accidental due to drowning. A day and a half later, Thomson's family hired an undertaker to exhume the body and move it to the family plot about 100 miles away. This undertaker refused all help, and only worked at night. In 1956, John Little's father and three other men, influenced by the story of an old park ranger who never believed Thomson's body was moved by the undertaker, dug up what was supposed to be the original, empty grave. To their surprise, the grave still contained a body, and the skull revealed a head wound that matched the same location noted by the men who pulled his corpse from the water in 1917. The finding sent shockwaves across the nation and began a mystery that continues to this day. In Who Killed Tom Thomson? John Little continues the sixty-year relationship his family has had with Tom Thomson and his fate by teaming up with two high-ranking Ontario provincial police homicide detectives. For the first time, they provide a forensic scientific opinion as to how Thomson met his death, and where his body is buried. Little draws upon his father's research, plus recently released archival material, as well as his own thirty-year investigation. He and his colleagues prove that Thomson was murdered, and set forth two persons of interest who may have killed Tom Thomson.

Download or read book Northern Light written by Roy MacGregor and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER FINALIST FOR THE OTTAWA BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION Roy MacGregor's lifelong fascination with Tom Thomson first led him to write Canoe Lake, a novel inspired by a distant relative's affair with one of Canada's greatest painters. Now, MacGregor breaks new ground, re-examining the mysteries of Thomson's life, loves and violent death in the definitive non-fiction account. Why does a man who died almost a century ago and painted relatively little still have such a grip on our imagination? The eccentric spinster Winnie Trainor was a fixture of Roy MacGregor's childhood in Huntsville, Ontario. She was considered too odd to be a truly romantic figure in the eyes of the town, but the locals knew that Canada's most famous painter had once been in love with her, and that she had never gotten over his untimely death. She kept some paintings he gave her in a six-quart basket she'd leave with the neighbours on her rare trips out of town, and in the summers she'd make the trip from her family cottage, where Thomson used to stay, on foot to the graveyard up the hill, where fans of the artist occasionally left bouquets. There she would clear away the flowers. After all, as far as anyone knew, he wasn't there: she had arranged at his family's request for him to be exhumed and moved to a cemetery near Owen Sound. As Roy MacGregor's richly detailed Northern Light reveals, not much is as it seems when it comes to Tom Thomson, the most iconic of Canadian painters. Philandering deadbeat or visionary artist and gentleman, victim of accidental drowning or deliberate murder, the man's myth has grown to obscure the real view—and the answers to the mysteries are finally revealed in these pages.

Book Synopsis The Tom Thomson Mystery by : William T. Little
Download or read book The Tom Thomson Mystery written by William T. Little and published by . This book was released on 2018-04 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1956, nearly forty years after the death of Canadian artist Tom Thomson, William T. Little and three male companions set themselves to a macabre task. Ever since July 16, 1917, when the artist's badly decomposed body had been found floating in the warm waters of Canoe Lake, controversy and conjecture were to hover, spectre-like, over the matter of how Tom Thomson really met his death. It was as a result of this prolonged controversy that the four men began digging in the little cemetery on the northwest shore of Canoe Lake, Algonquin Park, where Thomson had been buried following discovery of his body. These men were determined to solve, if only for themselves, part of the enigma that surrounded the name of Tom Thomson. What they discovered only confirmed that a true mystery did exist; that the full story of Thomson's untimely death is not in fact as history records it.That is to say, there should not have been any "discovery." Their diggings should not have uncovered a male skeleton, the skull of which bore a suspicious fracture on one temple. For Tom Thomson's body, according to all official reports, had been exhumed from its original grave site in the Park for burial in the family plot at Leith, Ontario. Was it really there? Then whose skeleton had been dug up at Canoe Lake? Official inquiry into the situation only seemed to further complicate an already baffling case.The lack of any sound and conclusive evidence resulting from this investigation set a frustrated William Little into action. Meticulously he pieced together everything that was ever written, documented, speculated an theorized about Tom Thomson during the artist's lengthy periods in Algonquin Park - with special emphasis on those strange events which occurred prior to, and after, his alleged "accidental death by drowning."This book is the result of Little's painstaking research. On the one hand he has been able to give us, through his many conversations with those who knew the artist, a fuller understanding of both Thomson's personality and his fine, bold instincts as a painter of our rugged northlands. On the other he has amassed considerable evidence that suggest Tom Thomson was murdered, and in this context builds up a case against the suspect and his motive. But above all else, he appeals to our respect for Thomson's contribution to the world of Canadian art, to see that the ugly and unsettling mystery of his death at long last be cleared.
