First sentence: "The part played by the early pioneers in clearing the sites and laying the foundations of our present-day economy in the U.S.A and Canada is too well known to need description here."
Description: Based on the life and times of William "Moose" Fraser who left Scotland in 1784 and settled in Pictou County, Nova Scotia.
Responsible for surveying Nova Scotia and giving land titles to the first settlers Fraser made a lasting impression on all those he met. Crawfords prose is descriptive and you feel like you are in the moment with him.
Notes: This book was written by my great grandfather Crawford and I am sure it is one of the only copies left in print.
