Reviews

Bright's well-crafted work contributes usefully to the fast-developing study of local labor history in western Canadian cities ... Recommended. -- M. J. Moore Choice This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of the history of both Canadian labor and the Canadian West. It weaves together both a wealth of primary documents and secondary sources to fashion a forceful argument about the character of the working class in early Calgary. For the academic reader interested in class formation in western Canada, this is a must-read book. -- Alvin Finkel Great Plains Research
