Excerpt from The Pioneer Pastor: Some Reminiscences of the Life and Labors of the Rev. Geo Buchanan, First Presbyterian Minister of Beckwith, Lanark County, Upper Canada This sketch, designed as a humble tribute to the Beck-with pioneers and their first minister, is now published in response to numerous requests. The men and women who braved the privations of life in the backwoods, enduring hardships of which the present generation has little conception, deserve a warm place in the hearts of their successors. To them the whole country owes a debt of gratitude. Heroes without epaulettes, they performed their duty nobly, bearing a heavy burden for the sake of those who should come after them. Although the snows of many winters have drifted over their graves, let not their memory be forgotten. Mrs. Campbell dying a few weeks after completing "The Pioneer Pastor," it has devolved upon me to prepare a new edition - revised, enlarged and illustrated - in the hope of adding to the value and interest of the sketch.
