FOREWORD

The In-Place cannot be found; you must happen upon it! Hidden behind its
rugged red rocks and hemlock-covered hills, it lies waiting for something
to happen. It has its Trading Station, to and from which the Canadian
Indians paddle their canoes--sometimes a dugout--bearing rare, luscious
blue berries invitingly packed in small baskets with their own green
leaves. And to the Station, also, go the hardy natives--good English,
Scotch, or "Mixed"--with their splendid loads of fish.
"White fish go: pickerel come"--but always there is fish through summer
days and winter's ice.
There is a lovely village Green, around which the modest homes cluster
sociably.
