Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
This book is about the cottage, the school house, teacher’s residence, and stone church described by Stevens in the decades before the Metricon development which filled the fields around them. It is about the members of the rural community that lived, loved, and worshipped there. In particular it tells the story of a Scottish immigrant family – the Thomas clan. Moses Thomas, the ‘lad o’ parts’ who gave some of the land and built the master’s schoolhouse and church and his son, Walter Thomas, the quiet achiever, are the main characters. Moses lived in the ‘Mayfield’ homestead and Walter lived in what once had been known as the Britannia Inn. When he purchased it he called it ‘The Poplars’.
