Sasquatch is pleased to offer the illustrated histories of North America's Great Lodges from W.W. West. There are hundreds of lodges, inns, and hotels in the U.S. and Canada, but only a handful of historic Great Lodges. Through stunning color photographs, historical pictures, and evocative text, learn the stories of these architectural treasures and the men and women who built them. Partial proceeds from sales of the books go to the rehabilitation of these magnificent buildings.

About this title

From the Publisher:

ALL ABOARD! The Canadian Parliament had withstood the longest debate in its history-- nearly ten years--when on February 1, the Canadian Railway Bill of 1881 was finalized. When all was said and done, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company was a reality. Tracks were laid across the young nation and through some of the most stunning and rugged mountains in North America. Together the railway and Canadian government developed a network of fabulous hotels, rustic lodges and tea houses all linked by one of the world's great hiking and bridle trails systems through its growing national parks. The majority of lodges were built by the CPR, but a handful were constructed by other railways or entrepreneurs.
