From 2021 through 2025, she and her neigbhours workd on the "East Port L'Hebert Community Mapping Project." She initiated the Port Joli Project with the Nature Conservancy of Canada and became the first woman to grace the cover of their magazine in 2017. In 2007, Danielle appeared on the CBC series "Who Do You Think You Are?" alongside her more-famous distant cousin, Major General Lewis Wharton MacKenzie.Through all this, Danielle was married and raised two "larger than life" boys, Lewis and Lee. She, along with her husband, Charles, dedicated 20 years to giving them the best formative years. Through extensive family research, Danielle learned of the fascinating history of her father's side of the family, the Whartons. From participating in the bloodiest battles of the American Revolution in "Tarleton's Legion", in the settlement of Port Mouton in 1783, and captaining the famed ship Columbia (doomed rival of the Bluenose), the Whartons were leaders in South Shore history in the 18th and 19th centuries. Danielle always felt cheated by never having been taught local history while attending school in Port Mouton. Knowing that the students she sat next to were descended from an ancestor who fought alongside her ancestor in the American Revolution would have meant something. Republishing this historic novel helps to tell part of the story that she missed in school and that could have been lost forever. Read More Read Less
