Book excerpt: Tall and bronzed by a western sun and wind, Donald Morrison was no one’s fool and he liked it that way. He was a gun-slinging hero back in the 1880’s who honed his skill as a cowboy riding the Chisholm and Shawnee Trails. But his life changes when he is summoned home to the Eastern Townships of Quebec, just up from Vermont. His family was in danger of losing the precious homestead, and they knew Donald was the one to set it right. In trying to wrest back the farm, Donald is drawn into a series of turns that ultimately lead to a dramatic western-style gunfight in the sleepy town of Megantic. He is forced to shoot first to save his own life, an act of self-defense, which becomes a charge of murder. This is the true story of one young man's fight against greed perpetuated by the moneylenders. Against those in high places who took advantage of immigrants coming to a new land to find peace, but finding only anguish and hardship. WANTED is a remarkable story of courage, of love, greed and betrayal, of fiery passions and a man willing to face life on its own terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Oatmeal and the Catechism is the story of emigrants from the Outer Hebrides to Quebec in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Most were crofting families from Lewis who had suffered the severe effects of the potato famine of 1846-51. As a solution to the increasing pressure on landlords and government relief bodies, they were offered free passage to 'Lower Canada' and given land grants in the Eastern Townships. To this day place-names such as Stornoway, Tolsta, Ness and Dell in Canada testify to the strong links these communities kept with their homeland." "In this updated edition of her book Margaret Bennett traces the historical background of emigration and settlement in this part of Canada. By means of recorded interviews with descendants of the original settlers, she builds up a detailed picture not only of the social and religious aspects of their lives, but also of how they set about building a new community in the wilderness. For more than a century people in the Outer Hebrides have been asking what happened to those who left for the New World. Oatmeal and the Catechism answers that question."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book The Hunted Outlaw or Donald Morrison the Canadian Rob Roy written by Anonymous and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-23 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald Morrison was famous as a Canadian outlaw, convicted of manslaughter, who became a folk hero. His father, a Scottish immigrant in Canada, was cheated out of his farm by rich landowners who used the old man's illiteracy. When Donald, who was working as a cowboy far from home at the time of the deal, returned home, he got infuriated. Donald hired a lawyer to get a farm back but never succeeded. He then burned a barn and was accused of a felony, so he had to escape from the police. He hid from law enforcement for ten months until he got caught and shot. Since he was shooting in self-defense, he killed one of his persecutors and was additionally charged with manslaughter. While on the run, Morrison earned the sympathy of the Canadian people, who often helped him to hide and supported him. Thus, the outlaw became a folk hero, inspiring numerous authors and filmmakers to reflect on his story.
