The Old Days

Thane Drummond was born in South Freetown,
Prince Edward Island, Canada, the year World War II began.
It was a time without electricity, without running water,
without a telephone, and without motorized transportation.
But times would soon change.
In the first of two
parts, author Thane Drummond talks about growing up on a
100-acre farm in Freetown on Prince Edward Island. In this
memoir, he tells about life as he remembers it from his
family to school to friends and recreation. In the second
section, Drummond traces his ancestry from Thomas Drummond,
the original Drummond immigrant to Prince Edward Island in
1832, to the present day. The Old Days summarizes his
ancestors' lives and describes how they lived, reflecting on
the mindset and the conditions at the time.
With
photos included, this memoir provides both a glimpse of what
life was like on Prince Edward Island at the beginning of
WWII, while giving an overview of one family's cherished history.
