Written in an attractive and comfortable style, and illustrated with photographs often contemporary and previously unpublished, his books are a fund of information about areas which too frequently are neglected in Canadian historical writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePioneer Arts and Crafts\u003c\/em\u003e, first published in 1940 and later expanded as a section of \u003cem\u003eThe Pioneer Fa\u003c\/em\u003ermer and \u003cem\u003eBackwoodsman\u003c\/em\u003e (University of Toronto Press), is typical of Mr. Guillet's fine work. In this book he describes all aspects of domestic manufactures and processes of pioneer days: he traces the development of wood-working in furniture and buildings, and of the tanning, spinning and weaving industries. He describes many farming activities which have long since disappeared, for example soap-making and lime-burning. There are several chapters on cooking and various food processes and recipes which include preparation of drugs and medicinal remedies, substitutes for tea and coffee, and the making of lard and sausages. Throughout this account there are quotations from contemporary journals, and anecdotes about various personalities in those early times, which bring our pioneering past to life again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecommended for use in Ontario schools by the Minister of Education, this book is for all ages, for everyone interested in Canada's pioneering heritage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edwin Guillet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802060811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802060815\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 12\/15\/1968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.27d","brand":"Edwin Guillet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45064508178687,"sku":"9780802060815","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ae2b9e1-f2a7-4176-9ca6-50f586f947dc.jpg?v=1712124484","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pioneer-arts-and-crafts-edwin-c-guillet-9780802060815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
