ANDREW FREDERICK HUNTER 1863-1940
Description
This distinguished historian and archaeologist was born in Innisfil Township, graduated from the University of Toronto in 1889 and was editor of the Barrie Examiner 1889-95. His extensive exploration of archaeological sites throughout Huronia stimulated public interest in the history of that area. He supplied much valuable information for Thwaites’ 73 volume edition of the “Jesuit Relations”. Hunter was secretary of the Ontario Historical Society 1913-1931 and wrote many scholarly articles. His “History of Simcoe County”, published in 1909, was one of Ontario’s earliest and best regional histories.
