Originally published in local newspapers in the 1920s, Dobie's writings look back on the people, work, and rhythms of the North Shore from the late nineteenth century through the early twentieth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriting with clarity, humour, and an eye for detail, Dobie records the experiences of people settling in a region rich with natural resources and for many, a desire to escape the forces that led to their emigration. His columns capture both the economic development of the region over time and the social fabric of frontier communities, preserving stories and anecdotes that rarely appear in official records.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarefully annotated to provide historical context, this volume offers valuable primary-source material for scholars of social and regional history, while remaining accessible and engaging for general readers and visitors interested in the lived experience of North Shore history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe thought-provoking columns written to entertain, still resonate one hundred years later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
