The Shining Scroll October 2008:
Read about Montgomery’s first love, Herman Leard, and the
picture of him that she admired and put into her journal. Emily Woster sleuths out
the story of the mystery man behind the illustration that Montgomery thought was “as much like Herman as a photograph.”
Christy Woster continues her “artifactual” exploration
of Montgomery by collecting and identifying more of the clippings in her scrapbooks (as seen in Betsy Epperly’s Imagining
Anne). In last year’s Shining Scroll we included the story of one of
the soldiers in Montgomery’s book dedications, Morley Shier. We continue this theme with a feature
on World War I author, John McCrae (In Flander’s Fields) and his ties with Islander
Dr. Andrew Macphail. Read how L.M. Montgomery, O.B.E., Sir Andrew Macphail, O.B.E., Lieutentant Colonel Dr. McCrae,
and Lord Earl Grey had a royal time together on Prince Edward Island.
At the 2008 L.M. Montgomery conference, Beth and Carolyn made a special
presentation on the opening day. They identified a group of remarkable people who were the first to begin to preserve the
legacy of LM Montgomery in a variety of ways. Every fan of LMM should know about these wonderful and generous Montgomery pioneers!
Read about them here -- Leta Andrew, Francis W.P. Bolger, James and Ruth Campbell, Maud, Amy, and Georgie Campbell,
Wilda and Harold Clark, Mollie Gillen, Ruth Macdonald, Jennie and John Macneill, Heath and Mary Ella Montgomery, Elizabeth
Waterston, Anita, Marion, Pauline, Lorraine, and Keith Webb. Then, view the video honoring the Montgomery pioneers at the following link. The music (which begins
after a few seconds) is a gaelic love song performed by the College of Piping Celtic Singers on PEI.
