The Man from Glengarry, a Tale of the Ottawa

Ranald Macdonald is man a living in rural eastern Ontario soon after the Canadian confederation. Faced with the challenges of rural life in Canada and following the example of the minister's wife who serves as his role model, Ranald's choices shape both the man he will become and the country that he loves. The Man from Glengarry was one of author Ralph Connor's most popular works and inspired him to publish The Girl from Glengarry and Glengarry School Days, which were set in the same county. With its strong moral and spiritual message, The Man from Glengarry reflected the life and beliefs of Connor, a Presbyterian minister who was born and raised in Glengarry County.
