Description: Loon Lake, Saskatchewan: Loon Lake Historical Committee, 1993. First Edition. Spiral Bound. Presents the local history of Loon Lake, Saskatchewan, located a two-hour drive north-northwest of North Battleford. "I feel sure that future students of Canadian history will find the contents of this book to be of great interest. It will enable them to reflect upon the lives of those who had the courage and determination to carve out a life for themselves and their young families in this particular area of Saskatchewan. The family stories reveal how important was the spirit of co-operation, not only within the family units themselves, but also in the broader community setting. Most came to the Loon Lake area seeking the opportunity of a better life, and prepared to undertake the challenges they would undoubtedly encounter. Just as within a family there is concern for and loving care of each member, so also did the early pioneers of Loon Lake display these same sentiments for their new village family. Harold Hinchsliff was the pharmacist in Loon Lake from 1934 until 1955." - Foreword. viii, 196, [4] pages. Includes references, bibliography, and suggested reading list.
