This is a collection of vignettes around Lucan, a village in Ontario that has a very rich, albeit controversial, history. In February of 1880, a vigilante committee descended, in the dead of night, on the Donnelly family as they slept in their Biddulph Township farmhouse. The vigilantes left behind four massacred bodies and a log home burning to the ground. Before the night ended, they had continued up the road, murdering another Donnelly. More than one hundred and twenty-five years later, no one has ever been punished for those brutal slayings. The first third of the book is Donnelly related, with many stories never published before. Culbert has compiled not only Donnelly stories, but also stories on village commerce, village life, sports, and music from past to present.
