SUMMARY:May 20:   Kae Elgie Author Talk — This Land
DESCRIPTION:Glencoe Public Library | G&DHS Author Series \nTwenty-five members and guests gathered at the Glencoe Library for Kae Elgie’s presentation on her book\, This Land: the Story of Two Hundred Acres in Kent County\, Ontario. \nDrawing from extensive research preserved by her ancestors and combined with her own deep dive into census and land records\, archaeological findings\, and historical texts\, Elgie told the remarkable story of 10\,000 years of food gathering and agricultural production on the 200-acre farm in Chatham-Kent where she grew up. Her narrative began with the melting of the ice at the end of the last Ice Age and moved through several eras of Indigenous occupation before arriving at the story of her own family’s place on the land. \nWhat began as an exploration of family history evolved into a broader account of agricultural\, social\, and economic change over millennia — from Indigenous food systems through the colonial era and into modern times. The talk was compelling and inspiring for anyone with an interest in agricultural history\, genealogy\, and the legacy of Southwestern Ontario’s farmland. \nG&DGS thanks the Glencoe Library for their ongoing partnership in support of the author series. \nBio:\n Kae Elgie brings to her research a wealth of experience from her pre-retirement career as Manager of Information Technology for the Region of Waterloo Library. Her passion for organizing information continues to guide her family history and genealogy work. \nKae is a member of several historical organizations\, including the Kent County Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society\, the Ontario Historical Society\, and Architectural Conservancy Ontario. She is the author of This Land: the story of two hundred acres in Kent County\, Ontario (Fountain Street Press\, 2019). \nBook Information:\n Elgie’s book\, This Land: the story of two hundred acres in Kent County\, Ontario (Fountain Street Press\, 2019\, ISBN 978-0-9812776-3-9)\, is available for purchase.\n Contact: info@fountainstreetpress.ca | 519-635-8951 \nWebsite:\n Visit Kae Elgie’s author page at https://www.facebook.com/FountainStreetPress/ \nThis event was originally scheduled for Jan 21\, 2026 but rescheduled due to a snow storm.
