Saskatoon, SK: Douglas & McIntyre Ltd, 1986. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; Immigrants to Canada who found themselves on unfamiliar terrain had a most difficult adjustment, both physical and spiritual, and those who settled on the Canadian prairies encountered an environment stranger than most. This book begins with an estimate of immigrants' expectations of the new land and ends with an assessment of their attempts to make a home of it. It is suggested that the prairie is perhaps too austere an environment for the common sensibility ever to absorb completely. Certainly, it is a landscape that overwhelms the newcomer and haunts the native, however far he may wander, for a lifetime.
