About this ebook
Excerpt from The Heart of Cherry McBain
"Although it was late afternoon it was very hot—hot even for August. The horse ambled sleepily up the dusty trail, his head low and his eyes not more than half open. The rein hung loosely over his neck where it had been tossed by the rider who sat dozing in the saddle, his two hands folded across the pommel in front of him. "
Douglas Durkin
Douglas Durkin (1884-1968) grew up in northern Ontario and Manitoba. He taught at Brandon College and the University of Manitoba before moving to New York, where he taught for a short time at Columbia University. He later married Martha Ostenso, composed several ballads with Carl Sandberg, and collaborated on a screenplay, Union Depot, with Gene Fowler. He also contributed short stories to Harper’s, Liberty, and Century. In 1958 Durkin and Ostenso retroactively claimed that work published under the name “Martha Ostenso” was collaborative work. This claim of co-authorship continues to cause debate among literary historians.
