A hermit’s home
by Joan Baxter
(an excerpt from the book The Hermit of Gully Lake: The Life and Times of Willard Kitchener MacDonald)
“The world knew him as the Hermit of Gully Lake, a lean and bearded elderly man in rags who lived on his own for more than half a century in the deep woods wilderness of northern Nova Scotia. By the time he disappeared in December 2003, his legend had spread across Canada and beyond.”
