About This Item
Fifth House Books, 3/15/1999. Paperback. New. 000-585: Large Trade Size Paperback with 294 pages. No Defects. A New, Unread Book. A beautiful, square, tight copy with clean, unmarked pages. Original Canadian Price Sticker still attached at top of first page. May have a few tiny surface blemishes from store shelf or stacking. Outstanding Gift Quality. Between 1915 and 1946, the Canadian government put some ten thousand unskilled foreigners, jobless and homeless people, conscientious objectors, perceived enemies of the state, and prisoners of war to work in Western Canada's National Parks. These men had committed no crimes, but because of war or depression, they were seen as a possible threat to public order and a potential source of civil unrest. Many of the Banff, Jasper, and other national parks heritage buildings and roads were constructed through the backbreaking work of the internees in these labour camps. More than 125 archival photographs illustrate this compelling history of how these men lived and worked, how they were treated, and the legacy they left in Western Canada's National Parks. Third Edition, First Printing 2007. Published by Fifth House Ltd.
