This is a film of the McLeans at Zavikon. It was made around 1929. The family probably gathered at the island for a 40th wedding anniversary celebration. Friends of the McLeans, Mr. and Mrs. Bryce, also appear in the film. Zavikon is a pair of islands located near Alexandria Bay, New York in the heart of the Thousand Islands area of the St. Lawrence River. Zavikon is the name of the big Island. The small island is "Kiwa", and it means "welcolme to the happy wigwam" in Chippewa. The Robbs, who owned it before the McLeans, were the ones who named it. Mrs. Alexander Robb (Emilie Delphine Taylor) of New York granted Zavikon to Andrew McLean of Passaic, New Jersey on June 27, 1918. Andrew was a cotton goods manufacturer, banker, and two term mayor. He built what is falsely known as the "shortest international bridge" at Zavikon. It is in Canadian territory! Andrew paid taxes to the township of Escott in Ontario, Canada. On March 26, 1931 he died in Passaic. His property was then given to his children. On August 22, 1931 they sold Zavikon to Philip A. Castner of Philadelphia. The Great Depression caused the McLeans to sell Zavikon!
