Barns of Western Canada - Hainstock, Bob

Clean, tight, unmarked; very light wear to inside corners; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; The history of barns is also the history of Western Canadian settlement. Centuries of barn-building techniques came together in 100 years of immigration, settlement, and rural evolution. Communities are now characterized by the barn styles introduced and adapted by those early settlers. From the "traditional" red barn to the unique round and hexagonal barns scattered across the prairies, author and photographer Bob Hainstock explains the customs, materials, and methods of building barns. He includes barn stories, history, plans, and dozens of spectacular colour and b&w photos of barns in BC, AB, SK, and MB.
