pp. 562, black and white photographs throughout. “‘Where the River Brought Them’ brings to life the courage of the voyageurs and the relationship between Native peoples and the traders of the North West Company and Hudson’s Bay Company. Pivotal to this story is the role of one of Canadian history’s great heroes, the geographer and explorer David Thompson. The saga continues as another new century dawns and homesteaders toil to occupy the land. Competing railway companies push their lines west in pursuit of the rich coal deposits at Nordegg. Pioneers and fledgling industries show their determination to succeed, even against the destruction of a great flood, and a cyclone that tears apart the business along the town’s Main Street. Native communities thrive in the area and are some of the last to sign the treaties. The story of Rocky Mountain House also includes the ongoing development of its cornerstone industries – agriculture, forestry, tourism and energy – with their struggles of the past and how they are now working together to ensure a positive future for all.” Signed and inscribed by the author on title page Heavy book additional postage will apply
