Oxley, J. Macdonald (James Macdonald), 1855-1907

Excerpt
The squire, be it observed, held very vague notions about Nova Scotia, and indeed the American continent generally, in spite of his son’s endeavours to enlighten him. He still firmly believed that there were as many wigwams as houses in New York, and that Indians in full war-paint and plumes were every day seen on the streets of Philadelphia; while as for poor little Nova Scotia, it was more than his mind could take in how the Duke of Kent could ever bring himself to spend a week in such an outlandish place, not to speak of a number of years.
