Join Mary Jane Logan McCallum for the Woodland Cultural Centre launch of Brown Tom’s Schooldays by Enos Montour. Mary Jane will be joined by Enos's granddaughters Mary I. Anderson and Margaret McKenzie as well as the book's original editor Elizabeth Graham. Refreshments and book signing will follow the discussion.Enos Montour’s Brown Tom’s Schooldays, self-published in 1985, tells the story of a young boy’s life at residential school. Drawn from Montour’s first-hand experiences at Mount Elgin Indian Residential School between 1910 and 1915, the book is an ironic play on “the school novel,” namely 1857’s Tom Brown’s Schooldays by Thomas Hughes. An accomplished literary text, this critical edition offers important insight into Canadian residential school histories.
This event will be hosted live at the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford, Ontario.
