The Tom Thomson Mystery

The Tom Thomson Mystery is the book that propelled the Tom Thomson mystery. Thomson was Canada's most famous painter. He died in 1917, drowning in Canoe Lake in Ontario's Algonquin Park. He was buried there by his friends. Two days later, his family sent an undertaker to exhume the body and send it back for re-burial in Leith, Ontario. In 1956, Judge William Little and some friends decided to dig up Thomson's burial place at Canoe Lake. The book tells the story of Thomson's life and the startling discovery made by Judge Little. The book suffers from factual errors and Judge Little's self-congratulations but it is must-read for anyone interested in the Thomson mystery.
