"Unlike pioneers of earlier Canadian frontiers, most Prairie settlers had to purchase the material they needed to build their houses and farm buildings. The Prairies' appetite for milled lumber grew dramatically between 1880 and 1920 as new farmers struggled first to provide basic shelter for their families, then to build their farms. Buying Wood and Building Farms described the massive lumber industry that grew to supply this vast market and the influence the industry exerted over farm buildings design during these formative years." -- Back cover.
