About this book
A Saturday visit to a Manitoba mission field leads a narrator along rough trails, past harvest fields and along the edges of the Great Marshes. His companion is a hardworking missionary whose small house contains furniture he has made himself. The missionary's horse, Golddust, supplies some gentle comedy before the two visitors reach a secluded farm and meet the reserved McPhail family.
Ralph Connor gives this Canadian frontier tale its character through household details: clean stone steps, shining utensils, fresh bread and a carefully tended yard. Over tea, the parents describe leaving Glasgow for Winnipeg and eventually making a home in the woods. Their account brings the difficulties of earning a living into a story shaped by Christian faith, hospitality and endurance.
