Robert James Campbell Stead (4 September 1880 - 1959) was born at Middleville, Ontario. His first book, The Empire Builders and Other Poems was published in 1908 and for the next 23 years, until 1931, he continued a steady flow of novels, short stories and books of verse, which enriched the portraiture of Canadian prairie life. As described by Terrence Craig, "In his early poetry, such as The Empire Builders and Other Poems (1908), Stead mixed with styles of Service and Kipling to produce a virulently nationalist concept of Canada and Canadians. This strain was continued when he turned to novels in 1914, and wartime tensions seemed to exacerbate his prejudices. Stead is best known for his novel Grain (1926). The novel "Dry Water" which he wrote in the early 1930s but was unable to find a publisher for, due to the Depression of the times, was published by University of Ottawa Press in 2008.

In this ebook:

The Homesteaders A Novel of the Canadian West

The Cow Puncher

Dennison Grant, A Novel of To-day

Neighbours

The Smoking Flax

Grain

The Bail Jumper

Songs of the Prairie
