Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Canadian Manor, and Its Seigneurs, the Story of a Hundred Years
In spite of many pleasant summers spent at Murray Bay one had never thought of it as having a history. The place and its people seemed simple, untutored, new. Some of the other sum mer residents talked complacently even of having discovered it. They had heard of Murray Bay as beautiful and had gone to explore this unknown country. When this bold feat was performed there was abundant recompense. Valley, moun tain, river and stream united to make Murray Bay delightful. The little summer community grew. At first visitors lived in the few primitive hotels or in cottages at Pointe au Pic, vacated for the time being by their owners, who found temporary lodgings somewhere, - not infrequently in their own out-buildings. The cottages left something to be desired, and, gradually, the visi tors bought land and built houses for themselves to-day dozens of them dot the western shore of Murray Bay. In due time appeared tennis courts; then a golf links. Murray Bay had become, alas, almost fashionable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
