| Publisher Description: There are certain places that history seems to favour, where important events and people are drawn, decade after decade. The Saskatchewan Valley, the neck of land between the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers before they meet at The Forks, is one of those places. Famous traders, explorers, artists, politicians, and writers have all left their mark, each adding another layer to its rich past. |
