Show detail Hide detail

An elderly couple sits outside a log cabin reminiscing. INTER-TITLE: "In the eventide of life thoughts arise to gild the memory with the glorious romance of youth." As they talk there are flashbacks to various scenes of pioneer life in Canada: A crowd of Indians coming out of the forest in native dress. INTER-TITLE: "Do you remember, Hannah long long ago when the Indians came into treaty about this very property?" Extreme close-up shows Indians trading with a white man wearing a suit and top hat. INTER-TITLE: "I felt a little afraid George, seeing them painted up and with all their feathers on - until they sat down in a circle and smoked the pipe of peace." Indians sitting on the ground in a circle passing a peace pipe. New Mennonites arriving at an established Mennonite settlement. They are greeted by settlers as they alight from horse-drawn covered wagons. INTER-TITLE: "Them Mennonites that came in soon after we were settled were good neighbors. Hard work and peaceful livin' was their motto." They unload supplies and belongings including a spinning wheel, buggy wheels, and bundles. Settler does carpentry outside a log cabin. INTER-TITLE: "Everybody used his own hands in them days, even to shingle-makin: there wasn't no waitin' for carpenters' strikes with winter comin' on." A pile of timber lies close by. Man heads towards a log cabin. Extreme close-up of roof construction. INTER-TITLE: "And there weren't no smooth-haired real estate agents showin' pictures of purty bungalows. You sawed your own logs if you didn't want to freeze to death." A family of settlers eat outdoors during the summer. An Indian woman rocks a baby in a wooden cradle. The elderly couple express disdain for the compexity of modern life. INTER-TITLE: "It weren't accounted discreditable to eat hearty in company. There hasn't been no Johnny cakes like the kind you baked in them days, Hannah."
