THE QUEEN OF -
v n
CANADIAN LITERATURE
AGNES C. LAUT, BORN IN STANLEY
TOWNSHIP
The following appeared recently in
a review of a well-known Canadian
woman, who is known personally to e
great many in this vicinity:
If there are any Canadians who du
(tot know that Miss Laut ranks the
very highest among our story writ-
ers, and if they should be any of
the age 01 14 years and up who have
never read "Lords of the North" or
"Heralds of Empire" or "Pathfinders
of the West"' then there must be
something wrung with their particu-
ler brand of patriotism. Agnes 'C.
Lout has been called "The Queen of
Canadian Literature," and :to date
there has been no one to challenge
the title, and certainly very few to
conte within hailing distance of such
a pinnacle.
Miss Laut is a grand -daughter of
the late Rev. Principal George, D. D.,
of Queen's. She was born in Stanley,
Twp., and while still a child removed
with her family to Winnipeg. lis due
time she entered Manitoba University,
and Inter became an editorial writer on
The Winnipeg Free Press. Her work
was so brilliant—one dislikes that word,
but where is there a synonym?—that
she was famous while still in her twen-
ties. She was recognized as .a very
clever woman ever before she had
published her first book, “C'ruisIng on
n
tine French Treaty Shore of Newfound-
land," but when this was followed by
"Lords of the North," she was hailed
from one end of the continent to the
other and in Great Britain. Her name
was established. For some years she
was special correspondent on a variety
of papers, notably The New York
Evening Post. Review o f Reviews,
Montreal Herald and Outing. Her
books are all distinguished for a
"grandeur" of title, hut, unlike the
works of some other writers, the con-
tents live up to the title. It has been
said of Miss Laut that she can make
facts and figures so fascinating that
you must read them in spite of your-
self. When you are reading "Free-
booters of the Wilderness" and "Vik-
ings of the Pacific" and "The Con-
quest of the Great Northwest," you
are imbibing the purest and truest of
Canadian history in the pleasant forst
of literature.
Miss Laust has lived for some years
in the State of New York. She con-
tributes to all the leading American
magazines, and is one of the very
few Canadians who have written for
the Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post, the circulation of which is the
largest in the world. You may find
her regularly in our own MacLean's
where she discusses in her own lucid
and compelling way the problems of
the rear that confront ourselves and
our great ally to the south. Miss
Lout knows her Canada from end to
end, and; ;though !living in another
country, keeps at all times closely In
touch with her loved native land.
The question arises: Do we as
Canadians fully appreciate what Agnes
C. Laut has done for us? Are we su-
fficiently grateful for the rich heritage
that is ours in tlse generous gift to
Canadian literature which her works
have formed?
