Treasure Trove in Gaspé and the Baie Des Chaleurs #254983

Here, as elsewhere the years brought ad vancement, and from this corner of Canada men and women have gone abroad to take an honoured place in church and state. Here dwell to-day the descendants of the brave pioneers — of Scotch, Irish, English and French parentage. They are true to the lessons learned from those gone before ready to extend a helping hand to one another in distress, kind and generous to the stranger within the gate, with a bright out-look upon life and facing its vicissitudes with undaunted spirit. To these people, by whose willingness to aid I have been able to prepare this vo lume, I commend it, trusting that they will pardon its shortcomings, and accept kindly my attempt to preserve the simple tale of the early days in the Gaspe Peninsula and northern New Brunswick.
