For a place that washed in from the Atlantic Ocean 450 million years ago to a township of 271 square miles with 6,600 residents and one stop light, Wainfleet, Ontario, Canada has done pretty well for itself.About Wainfleet then: - We have seven miles of pristine Lake Erie shoreline with beautiful sand beaches and rocky points embedded with ancient fossils.- We have acres of bogland that can be enjoyed by hikers and hunters. Duck!- We have a rattlesnake or two. Run!- We once had a prisoner-of-war camp to which escapees always returned after the movies.- We've had shipwrecks, rum running and ships wrecked by rum running.- We've had a murder or two, but who's telling.- We've dug up a couple of mastodons in our back yard.- We have an ongoing, but healthy, battle between summer people and year rounders.And you don't have to live in Wainfleet to love this book of history, stories, pictures and of course the humor from best-selling Canadian author William Thomas
