When the Work's All Done This Fall : Voices of Early Canada the Settling of the Land
301 pages including bibliography. Remainder dot on top edge of text. Spine leans a little to right. "I believe the way to tell farm history, and in the process the history of this country, is in the words of those who cleared and tended the land or who, at least, were in attendance as witnesses to farm life. In the past several years, I have been collecting hundreds of excerpts from eighteenth and nineteenth-century writings that in any way touch on Canadian agriculture. The scope of this book is pre-1900 and all of Canada... This book is for the land lover, layman or otherwise, and not for the agricultural scientist, statistician, footnoting historian or economist." - the author. With some black and white illustrations.

McKnight Jill T.
Canada. Ediz. a colori
ill., ril. Un territorio così ampio che va "da mare a mare": il motto nazionale del Canada ricorda bene la peculiare caratteristica di questo esteso Paese che si apre tra i due oceani Atlantico e Pacifico senza soluzione di continuità. Al di là del confine con gli Stati Uniti, il più lungo del mondo, si sviluppa un affascinante stato multiculturale e bilingue sin dalla fine del XV secolo, quando coloni francesi e inglesi vi si insediarono cogliendo le potenzialità dei suoi ampi spazi incontaminati. Oggi il Canada è un Paese ricco di bellezze e varietà, dal "mosaico culturale" dei popoli e delle tradizioni alla molteplicità di paesaggi e strepitose vedute. Dalle pianure centrali alle Montagne Rocciose, dai Grandi Laghi alle cordigliere polari fino alle moderne metropoli della fascia più meridionale, sotto al simbolo della foglia d'acero vive un Paese pieno di risorse umane e naturali da riscoprire e ammirare.

Sawlogs on Steel Rails
British Columbia: The Forest Industry Senior's History Committee. Fine. 1995. First Hardcover Edition. Hardcover. 0969944802 . Over one inch thick. "The first major sawmill in British Columbia was the Port Alberni Anderson mill of 1860/1864 which was closed because it ran out of logs. Manager Gilbert Sproat advised the owners that to get logs to the mill they would need to build a railway. The owners refused so the mill was closed. It was to be almost fifty years until the first logging railway was built in 1912. The last train of logs was delivered to MacMillan Bloedel's Franklin River Camp A in 1957. In the intervening period more than thirty locomotives operated on hundreds of miles of railway grade in the area. Thousands of men were involved in a large number of logging camps big and small. This 45 year period of railway logging is the subject of our story." - from back board. Abundantly illustrated in black and white. Glossy illustrated boards.
