About the Author & Book:
Ralph Connor was the pseudonym of Rev. Charles W. Gordon, a Canadian Presbyterian minister and author whose novels blended adventure with Christian morality. The Man from Glengarry is one of his most beloved works, exploring the lives of settlers in Ontario’s Glengarry region and their challenges in the rugged Ottawa Valley.

First published in 1901, the book became a bestseller, widely read in Canada and abroad. Its themes of faith, resilience, and frontier life still resonate with collectors and literary historians.
