Description

vi, 578 pages. Index. Hundreds of black and white reproductions of archival photos. Illustrated endpapers. "This book is a chronicle, a tribute to the pioneers who settled on the land from the Smoky River to Grande Prairie, Alberta. It was, at the turn of the century, the last available virgin farmland in North America. The cost in dollars, a pittance was ten dollars for a 160 acre homestead; the cost in endurance, hardships, labor, privations, isolation and loneliness was immense; beyond the grasp of our modern affluent society." - Foreword. Includes chapters on: Crystal Creek, East Kleskun, Fitzsimmons, Five Mile, Kleskun Hill, Kleskun Lake, Lindsay, Somme, Tranquility, and Twilight. Small incidental ink mark to fore-edge, otherwise clean and unmarked with moderate wear. Binding intact. A sound copy of this informative local history and invaluable genealogical reference.
