Stories of Pioneer Ontario
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Essentially the prequal to The Man from Glengarry, Glengarry School Days was in its day an extremely popular book. The stories in this book are set in rural eastern Ontario during the 1870s and are supposedly fictionalized accounts of true events. As one can gather from the title of the book, the stories revolve aroung school-life and (male) school children, in particular a boy named Hughie Murray. Overall, the book is interesting, especially if one has an interest in Ontario or Scotish-Canadian history. But the sometimes overly sentimental and narrative is somewhat taxing, as is the religious moralization (which was no doubt common at the time). This does not detract from the fact that this book is an important work of Canadiana.
