Pioneer Woman's Story plus Canadian Woman in WW2 Dutch Resistance

This week, Kate has the story of Miriam Holland, a 17 year old woman who settled in Haliburton County in 1860, ended up living there into her 90's, and seeing an huge arc in community change. Plus, Paul has the life-story of Mona Roberts who was born in Nova Scotia, ended up in WW2's Dutch Resistance, and became the only Canadian woman to be tried by a Nazi tribunal and sentenced to death by firing squad. Spoiler alert - the sentence was commuted to life with hard labour but it wasn't the end of her remarkable story.
