Description |
This item is part of Peter Schmalz fonds, series 7, file 2 (Regional history resources - articles and manuscripts). Opening lines from the document: "A few years before her death in 1934, the writer had a long talk with Miss Annie Longe, the first white woman to be born in the Southampton area." The article was written in 1956 and reflects information obtained by Donald B. Shutt during his talk with Annie Longe in 1934. Includes information about her cottage, family, their involvement in the fur trade and commercial fishing. [NB: The statement re: first white woman born in Southampton is a disputed fact - Annie was Metis and Southampton did not exist in 1844.] |
