Reapers of the Valley, 1882–1982
A century of local history, from 1882 to 1982, gathered in one book. The University of Manitoba Libraries have digitized it as part of their Manitoba Local Histories collection, so you can leaf through it page by page, right in your browser. A wonderful way to meet the people and places that shaped our community, as we count down to the 150th.
