Summary "Bog-Myrtle and Peat" by S. R. Crockett is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. Set in the Scottish region of Galloway, the book presents a collection of tales that explore the lives, challenges, and adventures of its characters, particularly focusing on themes of faith, community, and individual struggle against both social and natural challenges in a rural setting. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to the village of Dour and its stern minister, Abraham Ligartwood. The villagers, who have grown complacent in their wickedness under a previous minister's laxity, are met with a figure of moral authority who is determined to enforce strict religious discipline. As he confronts the community about its indulgences, particularly during a time of illegal cargo trading and drinking, the minister quickly earns fear and resentment. However, as a plague begins to claim lives in the parish, it is the minister who steps up, selflessly caring for the sick and burying the dead, ultimately leading to a change of heart among the villagers and illustrating the deep connections between fear, respect, and the profound impact of dedicated leadership during crises.
