- Henry_Franklin_Bronson abstract "Henry Franklin Bronson (February 24, 1817 – December 7, 1889) was a Canadian lumber baron known as one of Ottawa's early entrepreneurs establishing a large lumber mill at Chaudière Falls on the Ottawa River. Bronson's efforts helped to convert a fledgling small town into a prosperous city.He was born in Moreau Township, Saratoga County, New York in 1817 and studied at Poultney Academy in Vermont. Bronson was hired as a clerk in John J. Harris' lumber business; he become a junior partner in 1840. Harris, a friend of Bronson's, had land in northern New York state, and mills on the upper Hudson River lakes. He had been impressed by \"the integrity, resolute will, sound constitution and capacity for hard work\" of Bronson.In search of new sources of timber, Bronson visited the Ottawa Valley in the summer of 1848. With Bytown's Chaudière Falls as a potential source for power, and the large amount of timber in the area, he decided \"on the spot\" that the islands located there would be a good location for a sawmill.Bronson and Harris went to Bytown in 1852, and after urging the superintendent of the Ottawa River Works, Horace Merrill to recommend that crown-owned \"hydaulic lots\" at Chaudière be offered to entrepreneurs, the lots became available in September. They bought some land on nearby Victoria Island's north side, paying $200.20 to the Province of Canada, and with it came the right to use the water as an energy source and \"to build a flume to propel their mills and carry saw logs to the property for 21 years.\" They were able to, a short time later, acquire nearby building lots that had been \"made available at greatly reduced prices, thanks to a recommendation made to the Canadian government by Ottawa mayor R. W. Scott.\"The mill was set up at the Chaudière Falls on the Ottawa River and they acquired timber limits on the Gatineau, Dumoine and Madawaska Rivers. The Harris, Bronson and Coleman (later Harris and Bronson) company mainly supplied markets in the northeastern United States. The large plant had \"novel iron gates\", 74 upright and four circular saws. The Harris and Bronson Company was set up in the 1850s.Notable is that Bronson's pioneering entrepreneurship preceded many other notables, who also came from the United States, namely Perley & Pattee [Chaudière Falls mill], as well as Eddy, and [Canada's largest sawmill builder] John Rudolphus Booth.Bronson settled at Bytown in 1853. When Harris retired in 1866, wholesale lumber merchant Abijah Weston and Bronson's son Erskine Henry joined the firm. In 1867 the company became known as the Bronsons and Weston Lumber Company. The company operated wholesale outlets in Albany, New York, Boston and Burlington, Vermont, acquired cutting rights to redwood forests in California and established their own bank.When the Reciprocity Treaty with the United States ended in 1866, Bronson lobbied for reinstating the treaty; he became a supporter of the Liberal Party federally and provincially. The Province of Canada treaty with the U.S. was significant for Bronson because it \"permitted Canadian planks and boards to enter that country duty-free\".With William Goodhue Perley and James Skead, Bronson was also a promoter of the Upper Ottawa Steamship Company.In 1869 he founded the Ottawa Ladies' College in association with the Presbyterian Church. The college was later sold to the first President H.M Tory and Vice president M.M. MacOdrum of Carleton College in 1942. Carleton College has since become Carleton University.\"Bronsons and Weston Lumber Company\" was incorporated, 1888, under c. 103, name was changed to \"Bronson Company\", 1899, c. 96.He died at Ottawa in 1889. Erskine Henry continued to manage the company until 1899 when it became a holding company, the Bronson Company.\"Erskine Henry Bronson and Walter Goodman Bronson carried on the family business after the death of their father in 1899, followed by Frederick Erskine Bronson after the death of Walter Goodman Bronson in 1932. In the sixties, Frederic Bronson donated a large portion of the Bronson Company's land holdings to the National Capital Commission. A few years later, the National Capital Commission expropriated the rest of the company.\"Bronson had transformed the falls into an industrial site, and helped to convert a \"backwoods village into a prosperous city\".".
