Description:
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan: Fifth House, 1995. 294 pp, 10" H. B&w photographs, maps. "Between 1915 and 1946, some ten thousand men were put to work in western Canada's national parks. They were the country's unwanted - unskilled foreign workers, the jobless and the homeless, conscientious objectors, perceived enemies of the state, and prisoners of war. These men had committed no crimes, but because of war or depression, they were seen as a possible threat to public order and a potential source of civil unrest. The Canadian government consequently sent them to the parks - world-renowned places such as Banff, Jasper, and Yoho - where they were held under duress in isolated work camps for months, sometimes years. (This) is the first comprehensive, illustrated history of the national park labour camp story, examining where and when the various groups were interned and how they were treated and employed.

Description:
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."
