With a work that covers such an expanse of territory as this, I needed to consult many individuals and organizations that provided assistance both with key information and with field logistics. I would like to start by thanking Gillian Hall of the Toronto office of Tourisme Quebec. She and her staff provided important contacts and generous assistance in many respects.

In the field, help was provided by many people and organizations. In no particular order, these include: Genevieve Parent of the spectacular Fairmont Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City; Debbie Starr of the historic Lord Nelson Hotel and Suites in Halifax; Denise Bradbury of the Algonquin Resort, St. Andrews by-the-Sea in New Brunswick; Glenn Bowie of the Westin Nova Scotian Hotel in Halifax; Andrew Phillips and Paul Lalonde of the Nova Scotia Museum of Industry in Stellarton; Anne Chardon of Outaouais Tourisme; Elsie Carroll of the beautiful McAdam, New Brunswick, Railway Station; Paula Wamback of the Nova Scotia Tourism Agency; Simon Leguerre of the Société de développement du Témiscamingue; Matthieu Tremblay of the Réseau Charlevoix; Marie Michele Cloutier of Les Hôtels JARO in Quebec City; Paul Bergeron of Quebec City Tourisme; Marisa Iaconelli of Tourisme Montreal; Magalie Barton of Tourisme Quebec; Louis-Antoine Paquin of CN Rail; Jennifer Burnell of Parks Canada; Alison Aiton of New Brunswick Tourism; Nathalie Beauchamp of the Fairmont Chateau Montebello; Pierre Bessette of Tourisme Quebec; Allan Bailey and Claude Chartrand of La Société d’Histoire de Senneterre; and Susan Goertzer, tour manager of Minister’s Island.

I am grateful also to the proprietors of Auberge du Village in Shawville, Quebec; Auberge Eugene in Ville-Marie, Quebec; the bed and breakfast Le Voyageur in Saint-Jovite, Quebec; the New Brunswick Division of the Canadian Railroad Historical Association; the Shawville-Pontiac Historical Society; the Coastal Inn in Antigonish, Nova Scotia; and a special shout-out to my cousins Charles Millard and Paula Millard for their gracious hospitality.
