Excerpt from By Trench and Trail in Song and Story A number of the songs in this collection have been heard by campfire and trail from the camps of British Columbia to the lumber camps of Maine. Several of the songs have been fired at the Huns somewhere in France, no doubt with deadly effect. And also at the Turks on the long long hike to Bagdad and beyond. And it is not impossible that some of my country men are now warbling snatches of my humble verse to the accompaniment of bagpipes on the streets of the New Jerusalem! Many of the verses have appeared from time to time in leading publications from Vancouver, B. C to the New England States and Eastern Canada; while others appear in print here for the first time. From all parts of the land I have received letters at various times asking for extra copies of some particular song in my humble collection, which I was not in a position to supply at the time.
