Summary
The story of pioneer fire chief Ed Caswell and the early years of Cochrane, Ontario, which survived a string of major fires and other challenges.
In celebrating Cochrane, the book strives to explain stubborn persistence by focusing on Caswell. At the time of his death in1950, he was not only regarded as the last surviving pioneer of the town’s early days, but also as the one who best represented a deep commitment to the town and its fortunes.
The book recounts stubborn defiance that stretches across 2,000 years, intertwining Ed’s life with his family’s history with tales of ancient warriors and the legendary figures of New France.
