Book Description

Calgary, AB, Canada: Fifth House, 2007. Between 1915 and 1946, the Canadian government put some ten thousand unskilled foreigners, jobless and homeless people, conscientious objectors, percieved 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 threat to public order and a potential source of civil unrest.. ISBN: 1895618746. Third Printing.
