Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 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.
