Project Gutenberg 2009-05-04 Public domain in the USA. 193 MacGregor, Mary Esther Miller 1876 1961 Keith, Marian The Silver Maple Produced by Al Haines "The Silver Maple" by Marian Keith is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the Canadian backwoods and follows the life of a young boy named Scotty MacDonald as he navigates his identity and relationships within a tight-knit Scottish community. The book delves into themes of heritage, family, and the challenges of belonging, particularly as Scotty grapples with the revelation of his English ancestry. The opening of the novel presents a snowy, serene landscape that contrasts with the lively spirit of Scotty, who joyously leaps through the woods until he senses an unsettling atmosphere in the swamp, leading him to recite Psalm 23 for comfort. As he emerges from the shadows into the warmth of familial affection, he is greeted by his grandfather and uncles, who celebrate his first day at school. Excited yet conflicted, Scotty shares tales of his experiences, including a fight that bolsters his bravado. However, he harbors a secret about his name; after being identified as "Ralph Everett Stanwell" by his teacher—an English name that aligns him with the very lineage his family despises—Scotty experiences a turbulent mix of emotions, striving to assert his identity as a MacDonald surrounded by strong clan loyalties and rivalries.
