Man set to die by execution in 24 hours shares final thoughts

Frank, who was born in Switzerland, died in Cape Breton. He has spent his summers in the rural community of Mabou, N.S., for decades. His most notable work, the 1958 book titled The Americans, earned Frank comparisons to a modern-day de Tocqueville for his fresh and nuanced outsider's view of American society.
