Occupationmining engineer

Walter William Palmer was a mining engineer, originally of Devon, England, who worked at the copper mines on Lake Superior and Lake Huron after arriving in Canada in 1848. Writing from Washington, D.C., in 1893, he contributed a paper on that experience to the Ontario Bureau of Mines. In it he recalled, among other journeys, a charter of Ambrose Cyrette's tug to the Little Pic River.[1]
