"The Preacher of Cedar Mountain: A Tale of the Open Country" by Ernest Thompson Seton is a story set in the early days of Links, Ontario, centering on Little Jim Hartigan, an Irish-Canadian boy whose life is deeply rooted in his town's vibrant, sawmill-driven atmosphere, and the protective care of his mother. We follow Jim as he learns to ride horses and we see his adventurous nature, all while haunted by memories of the past. The story kicks off with Jim’s upbringing, set against the backdrop of his family's hotel and the colorful locals of Links, as he learns life lessons, laying the foundation for his transformation into the "Preacher of Cedar Mountain." The reader experiences the importance of family history as we watch Jim's growth, navigating childhood challenges and figuring out who he wants to become.
