Often overlooked are the triumphs and sacrifices of those who supported those soldiers, and the war effort in general, back at home. The Frontier of Patriotism provides an in-depth look at all aspects of Alberta?s involvement in the war, reflecting Albertans? experiences both on the battlefield and on the home front. Contributors of the 40 essays all draw heavily on national and local archival resources. The war is seen through the letters, diaries and memoirs of the individuals who lived through it, as well as through accounts in local newspapers. Readers will come away from this collection with a deeper appreciation of the different ways that the First World War, and its aftermath, shaped the lives of Albertans. For many, these four tumultuous years represented a time of individual valour and of communities pulling together and sacrificing for a noble cause. Yet, for others, the war left disillusionment and anger. Exploring these regional and local stories, as well as the national story, helps us understand the commonalities and distinctiveness of what it means to be Canadian. The Frontier of Patriotism is the most comprehensive treatment of Alberta during these critical, transformational years. 410 0$aBeyond boundaries series. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zCanada 607 $aAlberta$xHistory$y1905-1945 607 $aAlberta$xHistory, Military$y20th century 607 $aAlberta$xSocial conditions$y1905-1945 607 $aCanada$xHistory$y1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 676 $a971.2302 702 $aDavies$b Adriana 702 $aKeshen$b Jeff 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826451903321 996 $aThe frontier of patriotism$94011326 997 $aUNINA
