Excerpt from Henry More Smith, the Mysterious StrangerSometime in the month of July, 1812, nearly a hundred years ago now, a well dressed, smooth spoken man, less than thirty years Of age, made his appearance at Windsor, Nova Scotia. He was looking for employment, but gave those who enquired about his antecedents but little satisfaction, further than he had recently come from England, and could do almost anything in a mechanical way and was familiar also with farm work. He was engaged under the name of Frederick Henry More by a farmer named Bond, who resided in the village Of Rawden, and remained there about a year without attracting unusual attention, except for his piety. Elizabeth, the daughter Of his employer, became enamored with the stranger More and on March 12, 1813, they were married, much against the will Of her parents and friends.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
