"Tells the story of Vulcan, from humble beginnings as one man's simple store beside a rutted wagon trail, to a thriving prairie town of wide paved streets and sunny parks - of a bustling market place and bursting elevators, of comfortable homes and hospitals ands schools - surrounded far into the distance by broad golden acres of prosperous farms. This is also the story of the pioneers who built and served the area, who envisioned a happy and successful life in the new west for themselves and their children. About 16 townships are covered in this history running partly east to Lake McGregor, west to the Little Bow River, south six miles and north about 18 miles, taking in the communities of Brant, Ensign, Reid Hill and Kirkcaldy." - Foreword.
