Bullies and Bar Fights in 1890's Gooderham plus John Ware - Black Canadian Cowboy

This week, Kate talks about Jimmy Scott's tavern in 1890's Gooderham (Haliburton County) and a lumber camp bully looking for trouble. What could go wrong? Plus, Paul talks about John Ware who was born a slave in the U.S. prior to the Civil War, was freed, became a cowboy, and ended up in Alberta where - despite racism - rose to the top of his profession and earned the respect of his colleagues.
