Book Description

Excerpt from Forest, Lake, and Prairie: Twenty Years of Frontier Life in Western Canada 1842-62 When I was six years of age I had two little brothers, one between three and four, and the other a baby boy, about a year Old - the older one named David, who is still living, and is now my nearest neighbor. The other we called Moses; he was a beautiful little fellow, and father almost idolized him. Once we lost him. What excite ment we had, and also great alarm By and by I found him in a sort of store-room behind the door, digging into a mo-kuk, or bark vessel of maple sugar, face and hands smeared with it. What joy there was over the little innocent! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
