Silent Partners : Wives Of National Park Wardens

Silent Partners: Wives of National Park Wardens by Ann Dixon profiles the wives of Canadian national park wardens and records their experiences of life in the parks from the mid-1920s through the late 1970s. Drawing on reflections, anecdotes, and memories, Dixon includes women whose families were stationed at the Ya Ha Tinda Ranch, Nemiskam National Park, and Banff, Yoho, Jasper, Prince Albert, and Riding Mountain national parks. The accounts document the domestic and social aspects of life accompanying park service, including the particular circumstances of families living and working in remote park communities.
