Robert and Jane Aberson left their home in the Netherlands to respond to the Canadian government's 1920s advertising campaign for settlers from Europe to homestead and populate the vast prairie provinces. After purchasing their farm in 1928, their first crop failed; the following year world markets collapsed, the Great Depression began, and many farmers abandoned their farms and moved to the cities. Only the stubborn and frugal stayed on the land, the Abersons among them. Bob Aberson credited his wife with their survival during those difficult years.

In 1926, certain documents were presented to the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland by Major A.F. Dobbs. These had been collected by Arthur Dobbs, author and statesman, who in addition to displaying varied interests, and no small influence, in colonial affairs during the eighteenth century--he was Governor of North Carolina from 1754 until his death in 1765--distinguished himself as a critic of the administration of the Hudson's Bay Company.

This is an anthology of English verse from the Middle Ages to recent times, from both sides of the Atlantic. Special emphasis has been given to poetry by writers of the Great Plains region (both Canadian and American) and by Aboriginal poets. Intended for introductory classes, poems have been selected with an eye to works--not necessarily easy ones--which address experiences and ideas more readily available to beginning university students and which are more direct and straightforward in expression than many currently anthologized.

This book of historical geography provides the first detailed examination of the initiation, development and decline of the unique cultural landscape created by the Community Doukhobors in Saskatchewan between 18l99 and 1918. The book considers the factors influencing the location of the original village sites, and describes the form and pattern of the villages and fields; traces inter-village, inter-reserve, and inter-provincial movement and village consolidation as it became clear that direct conflict with the government was unavoidable; and identifies and analyzes the values which prevented some compromise between the Doukhobors and the government which would have eased this conflict. Illustrated.

The Mounted Police and Prairie Society 1873-1919 is a collection of scholarly explorations of the nature and role of the Mounties on the Prairies, from the formation of the North West Mounted Police in 1873/74 to its transformation into the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1919/20. Given the status of the Mounties as a Canadian icon, and given the conflicting and changing evaluations of their actions and policies, the historical examination of the force is of considerable importance.
