Two young men shoulder their packs and set off on foot through the farms, villages and lakes of Ontario, meeting a long procession of country people, fellow travellers, eccentrics and pretty girls along the way. The book was issued by its Canadian publishers as the work of a new native author, and its comedy relies heavily on dialect, including some broad caricature typical of the 1880s.
