Brown Tom’s Schooldays
Enos T. Montour, Mary Jane Logan McCallum (Editor)
Self-published in 1985, and drawn from Montour’s experiences at Mount Elgin Indian Residential School between 1910 and 1914, this book tells the story of a young boy’s life at residential school where he makes friends, witnesses illness and death, and endures constant hunger. It positions Brown Tom and his schoolmates as citizens of three worlds: the reserve, the “white man’s world,” and the school in between.
