In the early twentieth century, tens of thousands of Canadian settlers faced the challenge of starting a farm in the North. "Places of Last Resort" explores the last significant expansion of farm settlement in Canada, documenting the painful discovery of the limits of traditional farming. Northerly locations were occupied in desperation after more accessible land further south had been colonized. Grappling with demanding conditions, the northern settlers were encouraged by politicians, bureaucrats, and religious leaders, who often had less than innocent reasons for endorsing questionable settlement experiments. David Wood explores the demographic characteristics of this surging population of land-seekers and shows how some of their efforts echoed those of earlier settlers. Gripping case studies outline the face of failure and suggest the ingredients for success in these marginal areas.
