Neil McQuarrie in Fort Frances this weekend
Fort Frances native Neil McQuarrie will be at Northwoods tomorrow for a signing of his sixth book entitled the Parry Sound Woodcutter's War.
The book is based on co-author Don Macfie's diary, which he kept during his five years of service, and hundreds of letters which he exchanged with his family in Parry Sound.
McQuarrie says that personal first-hand accounts of wartime such as this is extremely important to document.
“If we don’t document them there’s that much better chance we’ll forget them," he says. "And especially at this time of year, we have to sit back and try to imagine and remember what it was like and what the sacrifices were that these people made.”
McQuarrie will also be speaking at the Library on Sunday.
