Illustrations for Michael Dupuis' novel of the Depression-era trek across Canada by the radical unemployed.
The trekkers get organized, and the reporter gets his assignment.
The harrowing trip across BC and through the Rockies to Calgary.
Panhandling, and an impromptu dance...
Filing a story surreptitiously in a Regina café, and organizers meet Prime Minister Bennett.
A riot breaks out in Regina: the police are determined to stop the trekkers.
And so it continues....
