The Bunkhouse Man : Life and Labour in the Northern Work Camps.
Journalists and poets, economists and political historians, have told the story of Canada's railways, but their accounts pay little attention to the workers who built them. The Bunkhouse Man is the only study devoted to these men and their lives in construction camps.
