Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What of Canada?: An Address Before the Bar Association of North Dakota, August, 1920
The cause that had been lost - and kept their faith To England's Crown and scorned an alien name. Passed into exile; leaving all behind Except their honour Not drooping like poor fugitives they came In exodus to our Canadian wilds, But full of heart and hepe, with head erect And fearless eye, victorious in defeat; With thousand toils they forced their devious way Through the great wilderness of silent woods That gloomed o'er lake and stream, till higher rose The Northern Star above the broad domain Of half a continent, still theirs to hold, Defend and keep forever as their own.
They were Americans and brought with them an ar dent love of liberty but they also brought with them the de termination not to give up their share in the old flag in the traditions of the people, they would not cut themselves a drift from the rest of their race.
