Sarnia, Ontario. June 14, 2013.
The turquoise waters of the St. Clair river and Lake Huron to the North are truly stunning!
Accompanied by Dr. Bucke, Whitman visited Sarnia in July, 1880. Whitman wrote, "I am writing this on Front Street, close by the river, the St. Clair, on a bank. The setting sun, a great blood red ball is just descending on the Michigan shore, throwing a bright crimson track across the water to where I stand."
In a slightly more humorous entry in Whitman's notes of his Canadian trip, he wrote: "A moonlight excursion up Lake Huron. We were to start at 8pm, but after waiting forty minutes later for a music-band, which, to my secret satisfaction, didn't come, we, and the Hiawatha went off without it."
