His mysterious death continues to stir speculation and spin off theories but he emotional response to his paintings is stronger than ever. This illustrated introduction to Thomson will provide all the background and insight readers need to appreciate his work.

Macdonald; his increasing fame as an artist; his discovery of Algonquin Park and the mystery surrounding his death.
