The Man from Glengarry: A Tale of the Ottawa
Produced by Donald Lainson; David Widger
"The Man from Glengarry: A Tale of the Ottawa" by Ralph Connor is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers on the lives and challenges of lumbermen in the Canadian wilderness, particularly focusing on figures from Glengarry County, who exemplify the rugged spirit and strong camaraderie needed to thrive in such an unforgiving environment. The main character, Macdonald Dubh, along with his son Ranald and a rival named LeNoir, embody the fierce loyalty and the struggles both in the forest and in personal conflicts. At the start of the narrative, the stage is set with a vivid description of the early thaw of winter on the Ottawa River, heralding the arrival of spring. We are introduced to Dan Murphy, a lumberman, who contemplates the competitive dynamics of log rolling and timber management. As the Macdonald gang of Glengarry men approaches, singing in celebration, tension escalates due to past grievances and rivalries, particularly between Murphy and Macdonald Dubh. The scene evolves into a chaotic brawl fueled by old animosities, where themes of honor, brotherhood, and personal integrity begin to take shape. The opening portion immerses the reader in the bustling life of lumbermen, foreshadowing the conflicts and adventures that will unfold through the intertwined lives of its characters.
