BEING A CONTINUATION OF THE PERSONAL HISTORIES OF “PIERRE AND HIS PEOPLE” AND THE LAST EXISTING RECORDS OF PRETTY PIERRE

BY
GILBERT PARKER

TORONTO
THE COPP, CLARK COMPANY, LIMITED

Entered according to Act of the Parliament of Canada, in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight, by Gilbert Parker, London, England, in the Office of the Minister of Agriculture.

To

SIR WILLIAM C. VAN HORNE.


My Dear Sir William,

To the public it will seem fitting that these new tales of “Pierre and His People” should be inscribed to one whose notable career is inseparably associated with the life and development of the Far North.

But there is a deeper and more personal significance in this dedication, for some of the stories were begotten in late gossip by your fireside; and furthermore, my little book is given a kind of distinction, in having on its fore-page the name of one well known as a connoisseur of art and a lover of literature.

Believe me,
Dear Sir William,
Sincerely yours,
GILBERT PARKER.
