Bernhard Anders Nelson was an experienced hunter and trapper in the Lake Superior region of Northern Ontario. Following a visit to his grandfather’s grave on the Batchawana River, Michael Nelson searches for the full circumstances behind Bernhard Anders’ death.  In this very personal account, Nelson explores his Metis family history.

Review: “As I read this charming and poetic book, I had the distinct feeling that I knew these people. Anyone who has ever looked at a yellowed photograph that is fading toward oblivion and wondered what it was like to be these people, and what ever happened to them, will find “Drowned” and irresistible read.”      - Linda Lord, Metis Voyageur
