The Anticosti Island, vast and remote in the Gulf of St Lawrence, shifted from wreck legends to a modern commercial empire under the Menier family. Senator Gaston Menier sold the Isle to Wayagamac Pulp and Paper for millions, funding a shift from peril to profit with hunting, fishing, and timber ventures, while preserving abundant wildlife and natural beauty.
