Abstract from the back cover: Fruit farming did not “come naturally” to the Okanagan. It had to be made to work.The watershed was transformed with dams, pipes, and flumes. Forests were felled. Wetlands were drained. The biggest challenge of all was economic: finding enough consumers to buy the fruit (especially apples) for a reasonable price. In the 20th century, the Okanagan was a great place to live and to grow fruit. But to make a good living from fruitgrowing? That was another matter. Please see page 28 for full acknowledgements
