Témiscamingue: Châtiments, Miracles, Et Autres Propos Du Concierge de l'Évêché [French]

By Robert Major

An old man and a young man; a storyteller and a listener; hours of routine work conducive to sharing thoughts and stories. The scene is set for these short anecdotal stories.

But what stories could a caretaker, working for a Timiskaming diocese in the sixties, possibly have to tell?

Quite a lot, as it turns out, for an astute observer of your surroundings, when you are passionate about local history, when you have a rich, diverse past, when you have a strong personality and a colourful vocabulary, and when you have an attentive listener hanging on your every word.

Meet Mr. Terrien, a gruff yet endearing storyteller of the Timiskaming of yesteryear.

Throughout the 17 chapters that form T miscamingue, Robert Major captures these stories, which are part of the region's oral history.
