The findings of our study provide some answers, and many questions. They point to the need to take a holistic approach to thinking about our lakes: aquatic plants provide fish habitat and breeding areas while at the same time they can be an impediment to recreational activities in our lakes. The Aquatic Plants Guide is a first step, but certainly more work needs to be done to get to the Root of the Matter. 1 Table of Contents Chair’s Message

AUTHOR'S PREFACE This history has been appearing serially through the Lindsaj "Watchman-Warder" for the past eleven months and is now issued in book form for the first time. The occasion for its preparation is, of course, the one hundredth anniversary of the opening up of Victoria county. Its chief purposes are four in number: — (1) to place on record the local details of pioneer life that are fast passing into oblivion; (2) to instruct the present generation of school-children in the ori- gins and development of the social system in which they live; (3) to show that the form which our county's development has taken has been largely determined by physiographical, racial, social, and economic forces; and (4) to demonstrate how we may, after a scien- tific study of these forces, plan for the evolution of a higher eco- nomic and social order. The difficulties of the work have been prodigious. A Victoria County Historical Society, formed twenty years ago for a similar purpose, found the field so sterile that it disbanded, leaving no re- cords behind. Under such circumstances, I have had to dig deep.

Peter Hvidsten 1 PORT PERRY’S FLOATING BRIDGE The first bridge to link Port Perry with Scugog Island was ricketty, unstable, and unreliable, but it was agreed by all, that the floating bridge was better than no bridge at all.

This all changed when William Purdy constructed a dam at what is now Lindsay. Purdy entered into an agreement with the government to build a saw mill and a grist mill on the Scugog River. Purdy’s dam and the saw mill were completed by September, 1828. The water eventually filled the millpond to capacity in April, 1829.
