The remarkable will of the early pioneers, and the dissipation of that will in succeeding generations; the creation of an educational system from scratch; the hardships of everyday life, and the simple recreations that helped to dispel them; the coming of the railways; the subcurrent of alcohol's influence on the culture, and the fight against it; the harsh ethic of evangelism, which gave shape to so many of the attitudes of the people -- all these are recurrent themes in Greenbank. Within this broad canvas the lives of individual people are the brush strokes that bring life as a whole into vivid and poignant focus. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Canada in 1988 to extraordinary acclaim, Greenbank is now available throughout the world in an accessible paperback format. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hugh Graham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0921149999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780921149996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Hugh Graham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120439619839,"sku":"9780921149996","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df66f284-278e-44ae-9414-26a4c17b5785.jpg?v=1687414321","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/greenbank-hugh-graham-9780921149996","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
