This collection of material was brought together and held by the Cooke family over a number of generations. It appears to include material from both Lieutenant John Cooke and Lieutenant Duncan Ramsey Kerr Cooke. There are three items in the collection: one holographic journal; one published book; and a holographic compendium of extracts.
The fonds consists of a typescript of an unpublished novel, 'Hard by St. Lawrence'; a manuscript essay, "Make a stand"; articles; and book reviews relating to her book "Miriam of Queen's", which was published in 1921. In addition, news clippings related to MacKinnon and a copy of Miriam of Queen's book are also included.
