How the West Was Written: The Life and Times of James H. Gray

Brian Brennan

How the West Was Written was published to celebrate the centenary of James H. Gray’s birth. He was born on 31 August 1906. James H. Gray was the first Canadian social historian to tackle such previously taboo subjects as the sex lives and boozing habits of the early settlers. His books were on the national and Toronto Star bestseller lists before those of Pierre Berton and have since become classics of Canadian literature. Gray’s Red Lights on the Prairies stunned readers with its straight-forward approach to prostitution on the prairies and was named one of the one hundred most important Canadian books of all time by the Literary Review of Canada.
