Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Black Rock: A Tale of the Selkirks
I think have met Ralph Connor. Indeed, I am sure I have - once in a canoe on the Red River, once on the Assinaboine, and twice or thrice on the prairies to the west. That was not the name he gave me, but, if I am right, it covers one of the most honest and genial of the strong characters that are fighting the devil and doing good work for men all over the world. He has seen with his own eyes the life which he describes in this book, and has himself, for some years of hard and lonely toil, assisted in the good in?u emees which he traces among its wild and often hopeless conditions. He writes with the fresh ness and accuracy of an eyewitness, with the style (as 1 think his readers will allow) of a real artist, and with the tenderness and hopefulness of a man not only of faith, but of experience, who has seen in fulfilment the ideal for which he lives.
