Title: Homesteading in Surprise Valley: An Autobiographical Account of the Pioneers in This District [Saskatchewan Local History]
Description: Saskatchewan, Canada: Gladmar Community Club, 1970. First Edition. Hardcover. Presents the local history of the Rural Municipality of Surprise Valley No. 9, Saskatchewan, located due south of Regina on the U.S. border. "Contains autobiographical accounts of the pioneers who homesteaded here. While some of the original settlers have passed away, many of those still with us dug into memories as far back as 50 or 60 years to enable them to write the stories of their lives. Younger generations will get a glimpse into the pioneer life of their forefathers and perhaps have a clearer understanding, not only of their hardships and struggles, but also of the relatively simple things that brought them joy." - Foreword. 144 pages. Index. Consists primarily of informative local family histories. Front endpaper map displays early settler land holdings. Back endpaper map displays current landholders. Prior owner's details in several places inside, otherwise clean, tight and unmarked with light wear to dark blue embossed boards nicely decorated in gilt. A quality copy of this informative local history and invaluable genealogical reference. Heidebrecht & Leutenegger 403.; 4to. Very Good .
