About this book
The Black Creek Stopping-House, and Other Stories is by Nellie L. McClung. The dedication is to the Pioneer Women of the West, who made life tolerable, and even comfortable, for the others of us. The text describes the Black Creek Stopping-House as the half-way house on the way to Brandon.
The text says the Black Creek Stopping-House gave not only food and shelter to the men who teamed the wheat to market but good fellowship and companionship. The text says actions and events which seemed quite harmless, and even heroic, when discussed along the trail often changed their complexion entirely when Mrs. Maggie Corbett let in the clear light of conscience on them. The text says Thomas went home full of the plan to get back at the invaders. The text sets out a plan to celebrate the Twelfth, with a fifer from Brandon who would play "The Protestant Boys" and "Rise, Sons of William, Rise!"
