Title: The Grass Roots of Dorothy 1895-1970 [Alberta Local History]
Description: Dorothy, Alberta: The Dorothy Community, 1971. First Edition. Hardcover. "This is a brief history of the Dorothy District, a small area in the south-west corner of the Special Areas under two hours drive East-Northeast of Calgary. Old diaries, letters and records have been searched and the very few remaining pioneers have freely given an account of events as they remembered them. It is hoped that the personal stories, the sketches, and the brief historical data in this book will give a true picture of our pioneers - who braved blizzards, drought, grasshopper plagues, prairie fires and isolation and found Faith, Courage, and True Neighborliness. This is their story - a prairie heritage for future generations." - pages iii-vi. viii, 355 glossy pages. Index. Photo endpapers of Circus Coulee 1901. Many wonderful black and white reproductions of archival photos accompany many personal and family histories. Prior owner's details and small address label atop title page otherwise book clean, tight and square with moderate wear. A quality copy of this very informative local history and invaluable genealogical reference. Krotki (2nd Edn) 876, Strathern 3220. ; Sm 4to. Good .
