Description: Alan Caswell Collier, Relief Stiff : An Artist's Letters from Depression-Era British Columbia, Hardcover by Neary, Peter (EDT), ISBN 0774834986, ISBN-13 9780774834988, Brand New, Free shipping in the US When Neary read Alan Caswell Collier’s letters that he sent to his fiancée, Ruth, between 1934 and 1935, he was inspired to make them into a diary of sorts. Caswell wrote from three different camps in British Columbia—Camps 506, 376, and 378-- which were part of a Canadian network for single, unemployed men who found themselves in dire economic situations during the Great Depression. In reading the letters, Neary found that Caswell was very adept at “peeling back time”, and his point of view, if not contrarian, was unique, and very informative regarding the history of the period. Post-Depression, Caswell’s prospects picked up and he became a very successful landscape artist. Th provides a multitude of sketches and photos of Caswell and his compatriots.
