Description

378 pages. Reference notes, bibliography and index. Black and white illustrations. "The story of every conceivable native or imported sport played in Canada: not just the obvious ones, such as ice-hockey and lacrosse, baseball and swimming, but quoits and tug-of-war, snow shoeing and mountain climbing. The account is light and readable, with generous quotations from a wide range of contemporary newspapers, journals, histories, and autobiographies." - from dust jacket. Usual library markings. Wonderful wraparound photo on dust jacket displays a female tug of war! Average wear. Binding intact. Sound copy. Book
