The book recounts the author’s rich life experiences from his boyhood in Canada through his various occupations as he navigated the changing landscape of society and politics. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the early Canadian experience, complete with personal anecdotes and reflections on the characters and events that shaped the country, particularly in Ontario and Manitoba. The opening portion introduces George H. Ham's early days, detailing his birth in Trenton, Ontario, and his subsequent childhood in Kingston and Whitby. It includes light-hearted anecdotes about his schooling, family interactions, and mischievous exploits.
