Summary "Duncan Polite, the Watchman of Glenoro" by Marian Keith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Duncan Polite, a gentle and kind-hearted old man who serves as a moral guardian of his community in the Canadian Highlands. With a backdrop of traditional values and a swiftly changing society, the narrative explores Duncan's resolute commitment to uphold the covenant made by his father, which aims to keep the valley a virtuous and peaceful place. The opening of the book introduces readers to Duncan Polite amid a beautiful morning as he prepares for his customary walk to church with his close friend, Andrew Johnstone. Despite their contrasting personalities—Duncan being gentle and contemplative while Andrew is a stern and forceful figure—they share a deep bond and concern for their community. As Duncan reflects on his heart's ambitions for the village and the younger generation, he also carries the hope of sending his nephew, Donald, to college to fulfill their family's legacy of faith and values. This initial glimpse into Duncan's life sets the stage for a deeper exploration of friendship, faith, and the struggles faced by a community caught between tradition and modernity.
