The foreword for the book is as follows [Pasture Spruce may seem a strange title for a book which has nothing to do with either botany or forestry, and with agriculture in only a very incidental way. The book is about Nova Scotians, that rugged race , subsisting happily on shallow soil, thrusting determined roots down into the secret caverns of the rock in search of the life-giving waters, thriving in sturdy individuality through the uncertain tempers of Maritime seasons, never far from the sea wind and the brine of life]Book has a blue cover with purple letters and images.
