Biographical history
Richard Nash Hourde was born in London, Ontario to Edith Warrine Nash and Wilbert Hourde on May 14, 1915. The family moved to Detroit, Michigan in 1920, however, Hourde spent much of his adolescence with his maternal grandmother in London. Although relatively inexperienced, Hourde was commissioned as a photographer by "The Beaver" magazine in 1936. He also contributed written content. During the summer of 1936, he travelled from Winnipeg to Edmonton, then along the Mackenzie River and to Tuktoyaktuk. He returned home in the fall of 1936. Hourde became ill with pneumonia while scouting locations in Northern Ontario and on March 3, 1937 at the age of 21, he passed away at Kapuskasing Hospital.
