Autor Tony Cashmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iun 1998
Whether the edge of the frontier or the centre of the oil boom, Edmonton has been a vibrant city for nearly a century. In Edmonton: Stories from the River City, Tony Cashman tells the tales of the people who built the Alberta capital. Meet John Rowand, Edmonton's first Hawaiian tourist; George Thomson, the postmaster of Old Strathcona; Amer Stimmel, Edmonton's most popular, if least successful, mayoral candidate; Tom Campbell, Edmonton's Mr. Scotland; J.C. Noel, a judge who brought an unusual sensibility to northern justice; John "Mike" Michaels, founder of a downtown landmark; and dozens of other characters who made Edmonton the dynamic, culturally diverse city it is today. Writing with an easy, light-hearted touch, Tony Cashman presents forty vignettes of life in a simpler era. Whether you're a visitor to the city or an Albertan born and bred, these Edmonton stories will charm you again and again.
