In Richard B Wright's book, he lists Whitfield as the Callan's birthplace.This exists, northeast of Shelburn on Regional 17. I can find no town of Linden in the area. He also mentions Uxbridge and other points South. The only town similar sounding is Lynden, near Dundas; …more which cannot be right. He says "the places are fictional, but why only Linden? All the others are on the Ontario Map......................Just wondering. Excellent story though. I picked it because of the title (the year I was born).I will have to read the 1908 book to check for similarities. (less)
