LOCH BRAS D'OR, A Novel of Cape Breton Pioneer Life, is an authentic picture of pioneer life in Cape Breton about a hundred years ago - a scene in the family chronicles of the John MacNabs.
The book is too delightful to be called a social document; but here, without sentimentality, is the story of the labours and joys and pains of this highland people, the endless toil of the women folk, and the journeys of the young men to the Grand Banks and of the young women to Boston, to get money to send to those at home. Here many Cape Bretoners will find echoes of the tales they heard long ago.
