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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in Canada in 1988 to extraordinary acclaim, Greenbank is now available throughout the world in an accessible paperback format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
