Spring on the Onaping River - A Y Jackson
Group of Seven Art was a new art style with a Canadian flare. The members and associates of the group were active in the late 1800's and early 1900 when the art society of Montreal and Toronto was heavily influenced by the industrialist who often lived on the Golden Square Mile in Montreal. These industrialists needed engineers and designers to build and sell their products and ideas. Many of them funded the art societies and schools attended by A. Y. Jackson and other artists of this era. Jackson went to war as did others of the group. He became a war artist and continued his art career after the war. He painted along the Onaping River in the 1950's. Had " Spring on the Onaping River " not been lost it would be worth a small fortune today. Some Group of Seven artworks are worth millions.
Money aside... these artists were first and foremost a part of a propaganda machine and most worked with the Canadians who created Carlton Studios and Grip Ltd in Toronto. Grip was a Lampoon style magazine in the 1890's until it was sold and became a commercial studio with a new agenda.
The group of seven are a mysterious bunch of characters and can only be understood by studying their background and the influences of the time. IMO
They saw nature in a different way than what was in front of them. Did Jackson do justice to the natural beauty of the High Falls on Onaping River ?

Canadian National and Canadian Pacific intersecting near Wanup and Estaire

Railroad commercial competition near Sudbury in the early 1900's resulted in this intersection between Canadian Northern ( CNoR - revamped as Canadian National by 1917 ) and Canadian Pacific. Both groups linked Toronto to Parry Sound and Sudbury Junction. CP created Sudbury Junction in 1883. CNoR ( CN ) created Capreol Junction in the mid 1910's. Both lines ran along the Wahnapitae river to thi...

Benny and the unnamed pond

Benny was a village in Northern Ontario. It is now a shadow of its past. The village was a stop on the Canadian Pacific railroad and a logging camp near a creek in Moncrieff township. The creek connected Bannerman Dam at the north end of Onaping lake in Ulster township to the Spanish river system in Tofflemire township. This unnamed pond was part of an ecosystem drain which connected to the Ban...

Chemtrails or not

Canadian Surveyor Charles Unwin short bio
Turns out that Moore lake was not named after a lumber merchant. Elwood S. Moore was on the scene in 1929 and worked with the Gordon Lake Mining Syndicate or received samples from their team as Professor of Geology. The Creighton Gold Mines company had filed for bankruptcy Moore and company took an option on it ( so goes the story ). Moore Lake and Emma Lake were likely named after him. Levey Creek was already noted as such in the 1884 report of Creighton township surveyor John McAree. www.google.ca/books/edition/Sessional_Papers/RmszAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Creighton+township+1885&pg=RA12-PA50&printsec=frontcover in 1884.
Fantastic flight, beautiful captures, nice to watch🕊
Excellent footage of the falls. The history aspects your provided are very interesting and informative. Fun to watch. 👍👍
I always wondered if there was a way of getting close to White Pine Chutes, looks like you found one. Thanks for sharing, I hope you keep them coming. 👍
This was my late dad’s favorite spot.when I came to Sudbury for holidays we always came here.I wish I could show you the photos of dad at the falls.he passed away in 2008 with 2007 the last time we were here.also saw a young moose there .your video brings back a lot of fond memories,thank you.stan
That part of the Onaping sure is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Looks like a good lake for fishing, I've never been up there. You had some interesting exposures with your drone footage, not sure if that was deliberate or not. If not, I recommend ND filters for bright sunny days like this. That said, I accidentally changed my exposure setting from auto to manual once, and did not get good results even with the filter. Beautiful lake with lots of islands to explore, I might try to get there some day. Thanks for sharing. 👍
definitely - wysiwyg situation with the imagery... I am in it for the history first ( selfishly ) and for the photography quality second... may someday invest in add ons and such.... i plan on returning next year to spend a few days in order to get a feel of the rest of the lake... did catch a few nice fish - pike, pickerel..
@@Sayitaint_So Was the launch easy to access?
What a great area to explore... Thanks 👍
Nice drone flying - great history as always!👍
trip to Gogama was worth it... however this history stuff keeps on giving and the James Miller stuff has me wanting to go to Magnetawan river and Miller's Falls and to Larder Lake where i believe the story extends as the traders worked the northlands .... lol - in the end there could be 20 people working this project and taking drones along and the story would still be only fractionally told - a version of it anyway
Very interesting history once again, I am really learning a lot from you.
Very interesting history. Looks like you've done some research. 👍
Internet is the new library .. when I came across how the Decou name fit into the Cascaden story and into the Secord story it got me thinking about your Secord falls and McVittie project... great minds think alike.... lol
Great video and info! I was just looking at Benny on a map today. I am considering paddling the creek/river toward Geneva Lake at some point...but I think there are rapids maybe in the way?👍
Well, I'm disappointed I missed that waterfall on my own visit to Ella but am glad you shared your footage of it. 👍
I hope you can make more videos this year, I really like the history you provide.
thxs for your interest.. looking for day tripper to do a kayak run from stobie dam to centennial park .. 5 rapid challenge.. 13 miles ... would make some cool vids considering the names involved .. McPherson ... McFadden... Duncan... interested ??? we could call it old man young man and dog... slightly kidding .. we think alike..
good information am lands surveyor licenced in india and i became soon canada lands surveyor licenced

Great video - I hope you do some more.
Whitson is my grandpa's last name.
interesting - however ... there must be hundreds of branches of Whitson bloodlines ... once did a quick ancestral search for the guy in the vid ... he or his ancestors came to Canada from somewhere in England ( or Wales )
Hey i enjoyed that, considering it's a part of my history.
James Stobie must have been quite the character ... thx
@@Sayitaint_So Yeah i bet he was, change of wish i knew more about my history. Anytime
Any idea why they are draining the basin? It's been getting lower and lower!
I can only guess... but i'd bet that it has something to do with the Wallbridge Mining group who are studying many sites in the Sudbury basin including sites along the Murray and Creighton faults.. something to do with Elsie Mountain.. mining history goes that the Clergue group ( Sault Ste Murray ) bought two claims in the Sudbury area in the 1880's or 90's. One was the Gertrude Mine near Creighton mine. The other was the Elsie Mine which was very close to the Murray mine and eventually became a piece of Murray MIne. Recall that the Creighton was not mined until 1901 even though surveyor Salter had noted that compass anomaly ( rich mineral source ) way back in the 1850's while mapping the area. That source was ( by common history ) only rediscovered when Henry Ranger was prospecting in the area in the 1880's or/and by surveyor McAree who had surveyed Creighton township in 1884 ( sorry but i am a bit of a conspiracy type - they don't tell us everything ... 😉 ) wallbridgemining.com/site/assets/files/2512/sudbury_tech_report_2018.pdf let me know if you find out more about Murray mine exploration in 2022 Elsie Mountain Formation, McKim township - Murray mine = McKim township www.geologyontario.mndm.gov.on.ca/mndmfiles/pub/data/imaging/ofr6243/OFR6243.pdf
