. Two of Ralph Connor's books are in this Kindle edition: The Prospector & The Man From Glengarry (1901)
The Prospector (1904)
This is an old tale of east meets west in Canada a century ago. It is November, a good day to be alive. The University of Toronto football team are playing McGill and love is in the air. Meanwhile the Superintendent has come from the West on his spring round-up. There are new settlements in anticipation of and following the new Railway, old settlements in British Columbia valleys, formed twenty years ago and forgotten, ranches of the foot-hill country, the mining camps to the north and south of the new line - all were beginning to fire the imagination of older Canada.
The Man From Glengarry (1901)
A tale of courage and an exciting sketch of life in 19th-century Canada, following Ranald Macdonald, whose roots are in the forest of Ontario's easternmost county where the author was born. The plot revolves around Ranald, who leaves for the cut-throat world of the lumber business and tests his faith. This book was a best-seller when it was published a century ago.

Other Books By The Same Author
The Sky Pilot, A Tale of the Foothills (1899)
The story is set western Canada in the late 1890s, a rugged terrain like Colorado and Montana, near the Rocky Mountains. It is about the men and women of Foothill Country who found refuge in the remote valleys where they could forget and be forgotten. It is a tale of love and faith, about human spirit and triumph.
Glengarry School Days (1902)
Fifteen short works are combined in this reflection on childhood at the time of Confederation in Ontario, Canada. Connor's wry observations are an important reflection of life in Canada.
The Major (1917)
The Major appears to have been written to reveal pro-German sentiment in Canada and promote recruiting. It is noteworthy in that it is a template for many novels of this era.
Genre: Literary Fiction
