| Summary | "By Trench and Trail in Song and Story" by Angus Mackay is a collection of poetry and songs written in the early 20th century. The work appears to capture the experiences and sentiments of Canadian soldiers and lumberjacks, reflecting on themes of patriotism, love, personal struggles, and the harsh realities of life during wartime. A notable aspect is the dialect used in the lyrics, which adds authenticity to the voices represented in the poems. The opening of the collection introduces the reader to Mackay's perspective as he acknowledges the widespread appreciation of his songs from the camps across North America to the battlefields in Europe. He expresses a heartfelt connection to the lumberjacks and soldiers, emphasizing their importance in the fabric of society during the war. The introduction sets the tone for a work that intertwines personal experiences with broader social themes, creating a connection between the reader, the poet, and the subjects of his verse.
