Скачать или смотреть Canada The Unknown Country ~ By Bruce Hutchison (New Version)

“We Are the Northmen of the New World
We are no nameless race of savages, who have no past which we can recall with pride, and no future which we can work out for ourselves and our children. We are the sons and the heirs of those who have built up a new civilization, and though we have emigrated to the Western world, we have not left our native land behind, for we are still in the North, in the home of the old frost giant, and the old north wind that rocked the cradle of our race, still blows through our forests, and breathes the spirit of liberty into our hearts, and lends strength and vigour to our limbs.”
~Robert Grant Haliburton, 1868

An except from the book “The Unknown Country,” by Canadian author Bruce Hutchison, 1942; slightly edited and abridged.

This passage of prose was the inspiration for what I do.
