Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. John Frederick Johnston was a Saskatchewan politician. Johnston was born to a wealthy family in Bogarttown, Ontario that owned lumber and flour mills in Simcoe County. He moved to Saskatchewan in 1905 and ultimately settled on a farm near Bladworth, Saskatchewan. In addition to his farm, he owned a lumberyard and hardware store in town and developed a string of general stores in the region. He was elected by acclamation to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1917 wartime election as a Liberal-Unionist representing Last Mountain. The Liberal Party had split over the Conscription Crisis of 1917 and Johnston was one of the Liberals who broke with Sir Wilfrid Laurier in order to support the pro-conscription Union Government formed by Conservative Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden.
