Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. First Edition. "The four brothers and one sister of the Destrube family, whose story this is, were 'typical' [Alberta] settlers only in their youth and their determination to build a life for themselves on the frontier. Children of a French banker, raised in the middlee class comfort of Victorian London, they proved to be well provided with the same qualities that made successful settlers of Ontario farm boys or Ukrainian peasants; intelligence, adaptability and the willingness to work hard. Once they had established themselves, their sound education and cosmopolitan background almost inevitably made them community leaders. The family's happy and increasingly prosperous life was abruptly and savagely shattered by the First World War. Maurice, the oldest, who had remained in Alberta to look after the family enterprises was left to pick up the pieces and eventually to write the story." - dust jacket. xxxvi, 175, [2 map] pages.
