Cambria, Gore or at Argenteuil Art Center, 585 rue Principale, Lachute. Copies are also available at Librairie L’Arlequin, 4 ave. Lafleur, St. Sauveur. This book was published by Les Sentiers de Gore. A $10 charge is added for delivery. This work, in addition to being of great literary quality, immerses us in the life of the Irish pioneers of Argenteuil in 1869 and recounts the many trials they had to endure in order to clear their land and establish their families. Illustrations are by Patricia Good (1924-1977), a good friend of the author whose pioneer family lived in a farm house on Shrewsbury Road, Gore. Mrs. Good taught painting in Lachute and the region. The preface to the English version is by the historian and playwright Donald Stewart and the French version is signed by Hélène Beauchamp, biographer of Ms. Cook. |
