How do you form a good historical question? In this episode, Chris and Trevor talk about trying to do that for a very specific reason: a Canada Graduate Scholarship grant application.

Chris talks about travelling to Yoho National Park in BC to get some inspiration by the shores of Emerald Lake, within sight of one of the Burgess Shale sites (the Walcott Quarry).

Then Chris brings on classmate Dylan Hall to talk about Dylan’s work forming his own historical question – perhaps focusing on the Fernie Ghostrider.
