The Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society is about to publish 'Those We Carry' by Scott Allen Saxberg
For the first time in its 116-year history, it's publishing a historical fiction novel.
The inspiration for Those We Carry is the real-life story of his great-uncle as a member of the Lake Superior Scottish Regiment in the Second World War when he helped to liberate the Netherlands from the Nazis and fell in love with a Dutch woman who was a member of the Resistance. "The society's publication committee felt this was the right project to branch out into the genre that appeals to a wider audience while still related to our mandate to preserve and interpret the history of Northwestern Ontario."
Saxberg's book, written while he continued to run a successful energy company named after Lake Shebandowan's Cache Island, has drawn the attention of the Financial Post. He elaborates in the author's note: "As I dug deeper into the stories of my uncles, and reading the Lake Superior Regiment diaries, nearly every story turned out to be true. These fascinating accounts captured my imagination and motivated me to write this story."
