Abstract
"This collection of essays demonstrates the richness of prairie historiography, and makes available important contributions often found only in specialized libraries. The essays, which illustrate the distinctive character of the West and illuminate a variety of key problems and events, focus on the prairies during the era of settled and permanent communities. Social history and ethnic groups receive merited attention in the essays by some of Canada's finest historians. This judiciously selected introduction to the prairies and its people includes a detailed bibliography of historical works on the prairie provinces."--Back cover.
