B R I N D L E & G L A S S : Many Foundations: Historic Churches of Alberta by Mary Oakwell

Many Foundations Historic Churches of Alberta by Mary Oakwell
Many Foundations tells the stories of forty churches built in the early days of the province, from the 1880s to the 1930s, from Fort Chipewyan to Cardston.
The stories of the people who cleared the land, raised the money and erected the buildings are, in fact, the story of Alberta. Ukrainians, Norweians, Brits, Americans, eastern Canadians and others arrived with very little in the way of worldly goods to begin their new lives, but still managed to find the time, the money and the energy to build their houses of worship. Many Foundations tells their stories of good times and hard times, sad times and comical times. About the Author Mary Oakwell is the author of the bestselling Tea Time in Alberta. She lives in Edmonton.
