A collection of thirteen songs based on the important role Fort William played during the years it was headquarters for the North West Company. Rodney writes: "The early history of Fort William marked the beginnings of Western Canada. It is very discouraging when the Hudson's Bay Company receives credit for all the hard work the Nor Westers did in the making of Western Canada. The Big Lonely will help make people aware of the important role the Company Of Canadians played while headquartered here at Fort William." "Brown has created in song a vivid history..Little known tales of voyageurs, Ojibways, William McGillivray, David Thompson and Lord Selkirk are are played out with skill. A fantastic group of players..A slice of history of the Northwest and a testament to the musical talent of Thunder Bay not to be missed." - The Chronicle Journal.
