YOU WENT NORTH TOWARD HEAVEN AND SOUTH TOWARD HELL
The French Canadian is on the whole sober and industrious; but when he breaks away from sobriety and industry he becomes a vicious element in the general organism.
-- Sir Gilbert Parker
A fabulous tableau of French-Canadian history and personality, here is a remarkable novel by the Canadian hero and author of Pierre and His People who helped persuade the United States to join Word War I.
