Some sixty years later, he wrote of the four years he spent in Canada before he returned to France in 1914 to fight in the First World War. Like that of so many youthful pioneers, his story is one of adventure and hardship?perilous journeys, railroad construction in the Rockies, panning for gold in swift-flowing streams, transporting goods for the Hudson?s Bay Company along the Athabasca River. Blessed with the rare gift of a natural storyteller, Maturié conveys his abiding nostalgia for a country he loved deeply yet ultimately had to abandon.Maturié?s memoir, Man Proposes, God Disposes, appeared in France in 1972, to a warm reception. Now, in the deft and marvellously empathetic translation of Vivien Bosley, it is at long last available in English. As a portrait of pioneer life in northern Alberta, as a window onto the French experience in Canada, and, above all, as an irresistible story?it will continue to find a place in the hearts of readers for years to come. 410 0$aOur lives--diary, memoir, and letters. 606 $aFrontier and pioneer life$zAlberta$zAthabasca River Region 606 $aPioneers$zAlberta$zAthabasca River Region$vBiography 607 $aAthabasca River Region (Alta.)$vBiography 610 $amemoir 610 $afrancophone 610 $ahomesteading 610 $aNorthern Alberta 615 0$aFrontier and pioneer life 615 0$aPioneers 676 $a971.232 700 $aMaturie?$b Pierre$01017542 702 $aBosley$b Vivien 702 $aWardhaugh$b Robert 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996202765203316 996 $aMan proposes, God disposes$92387547 997 $aUNISA
