From the Introduction:
In the present instance the difficulty of obtaining records is increased by the fact that no published book exists which might serve as a starting point. The only works extant of any use in describing the Eastern Townships, are those of Joseph Bouchette, Suveyor-General of Lower Canada for thirty years, published in 1815 and 1831, and Mrs. Day's "History of the Eastern Townships", published in 1869. The author had only managed to extract a few tidbits from these works, primarily in the Township histories. Nearly all the information has been gathered from old settlers, old newspapers, government reports, municipal records, and written accounts left by some pioneers. The aim has been to write a romance, but simply to give the facts as they have been found, after months of research and study. Every item of interest that could be learned concerning the County of Compton has been traced out and, so far as verified, here recorded.
