Westward Hope and the Harris Homestead
Despondent schoolteacher John Harris leaves Ontario for Manitoba with Mary, they marry and settle to farm life. Years pass as Beulah grows up, family strains emerge, and a western land speculation ties Harris to Gardiner and Travers. A dramatic chase in the mountains ends with justice, reconciliation, and return to the homestead.
