Farley Mowat. Haven't heard that name in awhile. Was in a place once 
with my dad...Mowat's Landing, somewhere in Ontario. My dad was 
convinced that was named after Mowat's family. I wasn't so convinced. 
Mowat wrote other books, too, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Two come to 
mind...although my puny mind can only remember one title. "People of 
the deer" is about his stay with the people of the north as he tries 
to discover what happened to the great caribou herds. The province 
wants to blame the wolves, while he proves otherwise. His other about 
a summer with the wolves, was made into a film.

Anybody know...Was Mowat's Landing named after Farley Mowat's family?
