The Four Canadian Highwaymen; Or, The Robbers of Markham Swamp

The Four Canadian Highwaymen by J.E. Collins is about four robbers of Markham Swamp and how this changes young Miss Aster's life. Excerpt: «The following story is founded on fact, everybody about this part of Canada who is not deaf has heard of the gang at Markham Swamp. I have no doubt that some of my friends who are in the habit of considering themselves „literary,“ will speak with despair and disparagement of me when they read the title of this book. They will call it „blood and thunder,“ and will see that I am on my way to the dogs. Well, these people are my friends after all, and I shall not open a quarrel with them.»
