Complete and unabridged, with 57 full-page plates by George Bellows, Ernest Lawson and Childe Hassam. A mill town in Canada: an owner, a union organiser, a strike, and a young minister who thinks he can stand between them and is told by both sides to choose. Connor was Charles Gordon, a Presbyterian minister who worked the camps and ranches himself, and who chaired a real conciliation board; the labor dispute here is written by a man who sat in those rooms. Fifty-seven plates of mill dams, lumber camps and northern lakes by painters including Tom Thomson and George Bellows run through the book like the country it describes.
