About This Item
Toronto: James Lewis & Samuel, 1973. For more than a year, Heather Robertson travelled through Western Canada, visiting half a dozen small towns to meet people and ask questions. This book is the result.....the story of wheat farmers like Gordon Taylor who has 800 acres near Landis, Saskatchewan, and an account of life in towns like Bigger, Moose Jaw, Winkler and Miami. "For all westerners, even city people," writes Hearher Robertson, " the farmer is the touchstone, our fertility symbol, the core of our mythology. He is the grass roots, the salt of the earth, the moral fibre of the nation.....his gradual disappearance shakes our sense of identity of our history." Grass Roots deals with a subject which is central to our understanding of what this country is. Notes on sources, bibliography and a list of photogrphs can be found at the rear of the book. An extremely generous section of photographs ( all on heavier semi-gloss stock) provided. Clean beige-green boards. Fep and rep each show two tape residue marks. A sound, square book in a photo illustrated dust jacket showing wear to extremities.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
