Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Beaver, Vol. 2: September, 1922
Lord Strathcona was a princely giver to all good causes, as the hospitals, churches, schools and universities of Canada know. He was very simple hearted and unaffected in his manner, and those of us who were occasionally his guests in his own house will always recall the gracious, kindly, gentle old man who assumed no airs but made everyone feel at home. He died at an advanced age, repeating in his closing hours one of the old Scottish paraphrases, O God of Bethel, as he passed into the unseen.
By this man's name many schools and places are called in Canada. And pupils will find much food for study in the story of his life.
