Description
pp. 152, previous owner’s inscription on ffep, otherwise unmarked. Dustjacket in good condition, wrapped in protective bro-dart covering. “This book records the development of Western Canada from 1882 to 1939 as seen through the eyes of farm journalists who wrote about what they saw and felt during that time. Many of us were unaware or, perhaps too young to remember the many dramatic events which unfolded during this period and helped to mold the distinct character of Canada’s prairies. These pages record how the prairie farmer has been a vital cog in Canada’s economic, political and social development. His importance will continue to increase in the future as food production plays an even more critical role in world power politics.”
