"An overturned canoe. A body recovered. Presumably Thomson drowned. That should have been the end of it. It was only the beginning." This book will be especially fascinating for all readers interested in: biography, history, the visual arts or true-life mysteries. Tom Thomson is perhaps Canada's most famous artist. His short and glorious career was abruptly and brutally ended on July 8, 1917. Since the recovery of Thomson's body, theories as to the cause of his death -- accident? murder? -- have preoccupied sleuths for close to 100 years. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The writer covers the life of Thomson when he was living and discovering his artistic ability. He then takes a detailed look at the events leading up to Thomson’s death. Next he tackles the controversy about where he is buried and the clandestine expedition that dug up a body where he had first been interred. Finally the author looks at the facts behind the various theories as to how Thomson met his end – was it suicide, accident or murder?
This slim volume laid out all the salient facts in a comprehensive review of the life, death and subsequent controversy over this Canadian icon.
