Vancouver, British Columbia: Douglas & McIntyre, 1986 FINE/FINE First Edition, 1st Printing. An exceptional unmarked copy, appears unread, gift quality. 6.25" x 9.25", 260 pages, index, map endpapers. The author documents his 1985 travels through Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba on a trip to rediscover his youth and heritage. "Here are the prairies revealed by a traveller with an eye for the idiosyncratic as well as the sublime; dust storms and country music; the former brothels of Moose Jaw and the Indian petroglyphs of Writing-on-Stone Park; the badlands of the Big Muddy and the civilizing tone of Gimli; the forlorn dignity of deserted churches and the excess of West Edmonton Mall. On visits to farms, ranches, Indian reserves and religious settlements, Abley meets medicine men and missionaries, cowboys and grain farmers, immigrants and dreamers.". Hard Cover.
