Rees, Ronald. NEW AND NAKED LAND: MAKING THE PRAIRIES HOME.
Western Producer Prairie Books, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, (1988).
188 pp, large 8vo (9 1/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0888332602 B&w illustrations. "For most pioneers, arrival on the prairies was a disturbing experience. Misled by government and CPR advertising, they expected to find a landscape simi lar in many respects to the landscape of home. Instead, they found a land that was flat, thinly treed, and virtually empty. To most eyes, the prairie was not merely spacious, but vacant...This sensitive volume explains how, to counter feeli n g s o f homelessness, pioneers gravitated instinctively toward familiar features in the landscape such as trees, low hills, and surface water. Once settled, the homesteaders attempted to remake the prairie in the image of an idealized landscape . T he i r ef f orts ranged from shelterbelts and gardens, to such grand undertakings as the Wascana Centre in Regina...Ronald Rees's thoroughly researched and absorbing study of responses and adaptations to the prairie landscape will interest acad em ics an d ge ner al readers alike." Minor wrinkling at bottom of spine. Dust jacket has minor edge wrinkling, light rubbing. VG+/VG
