Summary "Daughters of the Dominion: A Story of the Canadian Frontier" by Bessie Marchant is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the Canadian frontier and centers around Eleanor "Nell" Hamblyn, a young girl living in isolation at the Lone House on Blue Bird Ridge with her grandfather. The narrative is likely to explore themes of survival, resilience, and the pursuit of a better life during a time of change and opportunity. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Nell as she tends to her injured dog, Pip, while managing her challenging home life with her unsympathetic grandfather, Doss Umpey. The reader sees her longing for personal growth and yearning for a chance to escape the confines of her lonely existence. Following Pip's deterioration, she encounters Dick Bronson, a stranger who arrives at their home in dire straits, leading to her decision to assist him despite her grandfather's disapproval. This initial segment establishes an intriguing premise of adventure, hardship, and the possibility of new beginnings as Nell navigates her responsibilities and aspirations in a harsh yet beautiful wilderness.
