Sudbury's stories are filled with fascinating characters such as Kit Coleman, who at the turn of the last century, was one of Canada's most famous journalists.
Kathleen Blake Watkins "Kit" Coleman lived in Copper Cliff from 1899 to 1901. Starting in January 2001, Northern Life published a serialized historical novel about the pioneering Canadian journalist.*
Every Sunday for almost two years, Mick Lowe, who had a long association with the newspaper, contributed a chapter from Kit: A Novel of 1901.
Coleman's story is an interesting one. The fiery redhead who spoke with an Irish lilt was a remarkable woman, a journalist and war correspondent at a time when most married women with children did not work.
