“.The. Man From Glengarry "
I3y Ralph Connor
Itis having a greater rale than any other Canadian book.
To have written "Black Rock" was to demonstrate genius. To have
written "The Sky Pilot" was an achievement worthy ef a great literary
master. But ',The Man From Glengarry" is Ralph Connor's most
magnificent effort—thrilling, inspiring and ennobling: It is easily &et
among the author's wcirks—he hap come to full maturity. Everywhere is
evident his subtle wit and pathos.
