Volume 1 only. “‘The Grand Prairie of the Great Northland’ tells the story of the people who came to this district, from all parts of the world and from all walks of life. It tells of the tribulations encountered by the first settlers, the building of communities, and how life was lived. It also tells of a harsh northern environment, transportation problems, and occasional lawlessness on the frontier. Above all, it reveals the tenacity of farmers coping in a district so far removed from chipping ports, but whose grain became world famous for its quality and high yields.”
