About the Book

Lieutenant Hector MacLeod returns from defending his country in war to find that the life he left behind has been changed forever. The story follows a man on a mission to avenge the murder of his beloved.

It is late 1700's in the wilderness of the Georgian Bay region of Upper Canada. Scots and other immigrants are exploring and settling this area of what will become Ontario.

The adventure in this rugged and beautiful country begins with surviving the many battles with nature. Aboriginal peoples from many tribes are on the move through this area and are engaged with the newcomers. The people carving out a place for the future might be wonderful or wicked. There is chaos and opportunity, friendship and danger.

The United States has just won its revolutionary war against Great Britain. America is looking north and the War of 1812 is coming.

For Hector MacLeod, he must survive the challenges of an unforgiving wilderness of water and woods as he seeks to find and face his adversary.

This book was originally written in 1928. The tale is told with the care of a historian and a minister's love of story. Reverend Hugh Cowan was also a historian and author of several books. Here, he transports his readers back to pioneer life in this wonderful and wild part of Canada at an important time in our history. Cowan grew up in the Manitoulin Island and La Cloche area of Georgian Bay. He returned to it many times over his life with some of his family remaining on the island and in the region to this day.

The introduction is by his great-grandson, Grant D. Fairley.

This book was originally entitled "La Cloche. The Story of Hector MacLeod and His Misadventures in the Georgian Bay and the La Cloche Districts" and was printed in 1928. This version reproduces the same book and adds additional information about the author, Hugh Cowan.
