A new book by a York University instructor Gregory Klages about the sudden and mysterious death of Canadian icon and painter Tom Thomson untangles myths from facts and offers a refreshing perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Drunken fights, lovers\u2019 quarrels, German saboteurs and murder are part of the lore around Thomson\u2019s death, which Klages revisits in <em>The Many Deaths of Tom Thomson: Separating Fact from Fiction. <\/em>The book will be published May 14 by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dundurn.com\/\">Dundurn Press<\/a>, and commemorates the upcoming 100th anniversary, in 2017, of the landscape painter\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>In researching the book, Klages delved into witness statements, archival sources \u2013 some only available in the last 15 years or so \u2013 as well as letters and photographs from the Thomson family. He also looked at documents related to a 1930s request to dig up a suspicious gravesite, and exhumation of that site in the 1950s, along with forensic reports of who was buried there and a doctor\u2019s analysis of the state of Thomson\u2019s body when it was first found, some of which were overlooked previously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was pretty exciting to come across these materials,\u201d said Klages. \u201cYou never expect there will be a new document that will bring new evidence to the table. When it happens, it just reopens the door to history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The last time someone saw Thomson alive was on July 8, 1917, the same day his empty canoe was spotted on Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park after Thomson had supposedly set off for a fishing trip. A week later his body was found floating in the lake.<\/p>\n<p>\"Since then, the theories about how Thomson died have become more and more fantastical, including espionage, bad blood and even suicide,\" said Klages.<\/p>\n<p>Theories also sprung up about one of the gravesites that were found and thought to be Thomson\u2019s even though forensics said it was an Aboriginal man.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the mystery that just keeps on giving,\" he said. \u201cWith the upcoming anniversary of Thomson\u2019s death, I thought it was an ideal time to re-evaluate the renowned painter\u2019s last few days.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_231036\" style=\"width: 192px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/files\/2016\/05\/Gregory-Klages.-Photo-by-Dave-Akers-colour.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-231036\" class=\" wp-image-231036\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/files\/2016\/05\/Gregory-Klages.-Photo-by-Dave-Akers-colour.jpg\" alt=\"Gregory Klages (image: Dave Akers)\" width=\"182\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2016\/05\/Gregory-Klages.-Photo-by-Dave-Akers-colour.jpg 1123w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2016\/05\/Gregory-Klages.-Photo-by-Dave-Akers-colour-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2016\/05\/Gregory-Klages.-Photo-by-Dave-Akers-colour-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2016\/05\/Gregory-Klages.-Photo-by-Dave-Akers-colour-1026x1536.jpg 1026w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2016\/05\/Gregory-Klages.-Photo-by-Dave-Akers-colour-600x900.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 182px) 100vw, 182px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-231036\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gregory Klages (image: Dave Akers)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Klages\u2019s interest in how Thomson died goes back about 10 years when he was doing his PhD at York U. He was part of a group that created a teaching resource regarding great unsolved Canadian mysteries. He supervised production of a book-length website devoted to Thomson \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadianmysteries.ca\/sites\/thomson\/home\/indexen.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Death on a Painted Lake<\/a> \u2013 that provided historical evidence and current theories. For the book, however, Klages went further.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Many Deaths of Tom Thomson<\/em> gives a glimpse of Thomson\u2019s life, his art and his last summer in his beloved Algonquin Park, where he painted his most famous paintings. It also looks at the myths and rumours \u2013 including that he was a father, and a supposed confession \u2013 and, how they developed and how they stand up nearly a century later.<\/p>\n<p>Klages methodically debunks most of the myths leaving only one conclusion, although he still leaves it up to the reader to make the final call.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe myths make for great story telling, but not for great history,\u201d said Klages. \u201cThis is our own Canadian history, our own mystery to solve.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new book by a York University instructor Gregory Klages about the sudden and mysterious death of Canadian icon and painter Tom Thomson untangles myths from facts and offers a refreshing perspective.
