Summary : Threshing: The Early Years of Harvesting tells of the people, processes, and machines of the annual harvest in Western Canadian history. Through archival photographs, history, and stories, it captures the sense of cooperation and pride experienced by early threshing teams as well as the long hours of back-breaking and dangerous work. Prior to the 1930s, the harvest season was a time when threshing crews travelled from farm to farm, communities pulled together to bring in the golden crops, and women worked from dawn to dusk making enough food to satisfy a troop of hungry men. The introduction of the combine harvester changed the face of farming forever, but the spirit of community fostered by the early threshing process and crews lingers on today.

Summary : The Prairie Girl Stories is about my mother's life when she was a little girl who lived with her family on the unsettled Canadian prairie. Her name was Irene.Over one hundred years ago, Elna Irene Rosenberg was born in Seattle, Washington, and moved to the Saskatchewan prairie when she was only one year old, and her brother Roy was just an infant. Her brother Adolf joined their family on the prairie when Irene was four years old, and her sister, Violet, was born in Seattle after they left the prairie when Irene was nine years old. Growing up I loved to hear the stories that Grandma and my mom would tell. When I was a little girl the prairie stories were as much loved as my nursery rhymes and fairy tale books. In my mother's late years, she and I spent many enjoyable hours reliving those early years of her life. Her memories were still as vivid as if they had just happened. My mother and her family truly lived the pioneer life from 1911-1919 while homesteading on the vast Saskatchewan prairie in Canada. These are her stories?But the stories first have to begin earlier in the late 1800s when my grandmother Hilda, Irene's mother was a little girl just arriving from Sweden?The following stories and Swedish family history are a gift from Hilda, Irene and myself to you. Mom expressed that she would be deeply honored if I'd compile her stories into a little book to be passed down and remembered. Lovingly, I've chosen The Prairie Girl Stories as its title.

Summary : This engaging and well-illustrated primer to the Upper Mississippi River presents the basic natural and human history of this magnificent waterway. Immortal River is written for the educated lay-person who would like to know more about the river's history and the forces that shape as well as threaten it today. It melds complex information from the fields of geology, ecology, geography, anthropology, and history into a readable, chronological story that spans some 500 million years of the earth's history. Like the Mississippi itself, Immortal River often leaves the main channel to explore the river's backwaters, floodplain, and drainage basin. The book's focus is the Upper Mississippi, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Cairo, Illinois. But it also includes information about the river's headwaters in northern Minnesota and about the Lower Mississippi from Cairo south to the river's mouth ninety miles below New Orleans. It offers an understanding of the basic geology underlying the river's landscapes, ecology, environmental problems, and grandeur.
