About this ebook
A glance at the map shows the southwestern extremity of the province of Quebec to be a wedge-shaped bit of territory; the St. Lawrence on one side, the United States on the other. All that is related is associated with this corner of Canada. The book's name comes from the newspaper in which most of the tales first appeared. The book attempts to convey, in a readable form, an idea of an era in the life of Canada which has passed—that of its first settlement by emigrants from the British Isles—and to give an account of two striking episodes in its history, the invasion under Hampton and the year of the ship fever. These are historically correct; the briefer tales are based on actual incidents in the lives of early settlers in the old county of Huntingdon.
