About This Item
Winnipeg: Hignell, 2000. As new! Paper bound, first printing, illustrated, SIGNED by author on half title page, xii + Pp334. A fine copy. This is a heartwarming tale of life in the small Manitoba Interlake community of Vogar in the 1970s. It was a decade of prosperity when money flowed from governments and cattle prices - a prime concern for Vogar's ranchers - sometimes reached record heights. Thanks partly to public largesse, Vogar residents were able to achieve their long standing goals of building a new school and a curling rink. It was a time when dreams were realized before the citizens of Vogar and other communities confronted the hard realities of record gas prices, inflation, economic recession and government cutbacks in the 1980s and 1990s. Like he did in his earlier book about the 1960s, author John Johnson also tells us about the individual joys and sorrows of Lake Manitoba's farming and fishing families, skillfully inter-weaving local events with major happenings in the larger world during the decade. 565 grams. We welcome all reasonable offers on our books. All books in stock and available for immediate shipment from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
