Empire of Dust: Settling and Abandoning the Prairie Dry Belt

Settlers in 1912 knew it as Carlstadt, the "Star of the Prairie"; survivors remember it as Alderson, the ghost town. The history of this doomed village west of Medicine Hat is a life-sized saga of frothy boosterism, lightning expansion and utter miscalculations-a tragedy of drought, destitution and depopulation. It is the tale of the disaster that befell the prairie dry belt after the Great War, the untold sorrow of southwestern Saskatchewan and especially southeastern Alberta, an empire of dust.

"The Office Cat..." Witticisms from one of the longest running and best loved humor columns in the history of the Canadian press captured the essence of the era between the world wars. Between the wars, wags across Canada and the United States, local comics, and Terrill himself contributed the Cat's finest offerings. The witticisms, limericks, jests and inspirations captured the essence of an era—flappers, boozers, pettifoggers, devil-dodgers, auto jockeys, sod-busters and paupers. Contains 31 Vance Rodewalt's illustrations.

Anselam is a composite character embedded in the author’s life-time of experience and reading. He is like a higher self with memories and insights born of joy and sorrow, of error and delight, with a mind turned now toward the light. Whatever he may have thought at the time, he was always happiest in the light. Like all teachers, he needs to forgive himself for the times he himself did not meet his ideals, then to march on making fewer and fewer mistakes, offering more and more uplift and insight, joy and enthusiasm, delighting in every contribution, his own and his students’—ever expanding himself, his sense of wonder, his interests, his love for students, his respect for himself, his trust in them, and in himself.These letters are the meditations of Anselam. By turns, they vibrate as simple stories, parables, metaphors, dramas, and as a gentle counsel to action in the life journeys of Alma and Arn, two beginning teachers.

Anselam, a higher self, writes to teachers Alma and Arn and their family about the Sea of the Self Academy, a school for self-realization: “A strange academy, it began millennia ago, with the dawn of consciousness, and begins again with each new moment. Strange too, with no set enrolment, it opens to single, sincere soul... Other schools claim many goals, but the Academy, only one—to awaken the Power and Wisdom of the self—to create a life of limitless extension beyond the ego, of union with the highest conception and the infinite possibility. In the depths of the Sea of the Self is a great Heart—a single, overlapping reality, a oneness, a closeness, a kinship, a harmony, a love.”

2002 may prove to be the worst year in agriculture in southern Alberta history. In the southeast, the past two years have been drier than any two years in recorded history. With countless news stories about disappearing towns in the drylands, Empire of Dust is being brought back to print. With a new preface, this enduring historical account of the settlement of the Palliser Triangle region chronicles the disturbing fate of thousands of people who were forced to abandon their farms as a result of prairie drought. Describing the residual effects of prairie drought and examining what have become ghost towns in Alberta, Joness study has become more important than ever before, especially in light of current drought conditions that are once again plaguing the prairies.
