Forging the Prairie West

This second volume in the Illustrated History of Canada series relates the eventful, occasionally violent history of the three "prairie" provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta). Covering exploration as well as economic, political, and social history, it presents a detailed account of the region's importance in Canadian history.

Additional text

The reader comes away with a better understanding og the enormity these provinces face what with their ethnic diversity, resource development, agricultural dependency, and urbanization. All of this provides an historical background necessary to understand the future dilemmas unfolding in the prairie West and the entire country.
