Canadian scottish culture

I studied this book in Canadian Lit at St. Francis Xavier University, and the whole class loved it. Our professor tied it in with our Scottish heritage and culture, which is very strong in Nova Scotia and in rural Ontario. It may be hard to believe but the values in the book were the same I was taught growing up 25 years ago, even the Gaelic phrases were familiar. Our class came to the conclusion that the book could explain a great deal about the roots of the so-called Canadian Identity. If you want to read about the real Canadian pioneers, this is it.
