Jan 2017: Sean Graham reviews 'Many Deaths of Tom Thomson' on ActiveHistory.ca

Sean Graham writes: "The Many Deaths of Tom Thomson hits all the right notes. It’s well researched and illuminates a major Canadian cultural figure while at the same time making room for conspiracies and potentially outlandish claims. At a time when facts have given way to feelings, it’s a terrific reminder of the historian’s responsibility to ensure the evidence is always at the forefront."
