The Robert Ashbridge McCowan and William Harold McCowan Collections of
Indian artifacts. These collections include the earliest known
evidence of human occupation in Toronto, approximately 8,000 BC. The sub-title of the
exhibition, 10,000 years of Toronto History, is so named due entirely to these relics
found by Ashley and Harold McCowan.
James McCowan’s letter of August 20 1834, written from Springbank,
Scarborough (lot 20 Conc B), 8 days before his death of cholera. This letter is very
significant to medical history in Upper Canada for it’s references to cholera deaths
in the neighbourhood and, in particular, for McCowan’s first-person description of
the early symptoms of cholera.
