From http://www.library.ubc.ca/edlib/egoffbib/1922.html the following information on the author
Frank Baird who was born in New Brunswickwas ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1901.  From 1901 until
   1951 he held pastorates in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, as well as high offices in his denomination. (Rhodenizer p. 382).  The sub-title of Rob McNab is a good indication of its contents.  Pictou was the chief home in the Maritimes of the Scottish settlers who arrived on the ship the Hector in 1773.  The  life of the settlement, its religious beliefs and differences, and the founding of the Pictou Academy are related by a young Scottish    boy 'Hector Davie'.
