About This Item
From the front flap of the d.j.: "Park Prisoners tells the fascinating story of the labour camps that existed in western Canada's national parks between 1915 and 1946, where thousands of men spent months, even years, toiling in harsh conditions, isolated from the outside world. The book also brings together the rich photographic record of the park internee experience. A lively text is complemented by more than 125 archival photographs that reveal how the men lived and worked, what they created, and, tellingly, what little physical evidence of the camps remains today."
One of two copies I have listed; this one slightly inferior to my other copy.
