Built on Islands Unknowingly
Ottawa Citizen, 26 December 1925
In the early days of the settlement of Canada, all islands
were, according to John MacTaggart, to be held sacred as
reserves for the Indians. But, as he remarked in 1829, that
rule was “constantly being broken.” Many settiers, he remarked, located on islands without knowing they were on islands. For instance, he sald Squire Wright settled on the island on which he built Hull without knowing it was an island. Mrs, Firth, of Richmond Landing or Point Nepean fame, also settled her stopping place on an island without knowing she was on an island. Mr. MacTaggart tells that after Mrs, Firth had made the piace famous, various people tried to prove that their land grants included the island on which she was located, but without avail.

I’m very curious about whether or not those bones will actually be tested. In the end, it still won’t tell us WHO did it…I still firmly believe it was Buckingham and that Richard was culpable only in that he left them behind when he went on progress, clearly not thinking how vulnerable they were to those who wished them dead.
