Prairie Oddities - Darren Bernhardt - Bog

Bag om Prairie Oddities

In Prairie Oddities Darren Bernhardt recounts historical anecdotes from middle-Canada's past that were never given top billing, the ones that faded away in time but left their marks behind. Laden with archival images, Bernhardt's stories restore focus on the gunslinging fugitive who became a folk hero, the curious and chaotic battle for Kenora, the flower-bearing American spy, the ghost trail of the Bergen Cutoff, the lost bells of St. Boniface, how the bison were saved from extinction, Hudson Bay's missing gravity, and the many firsts accomplished in the northwest.The stories of what was - and what could have been - arouse imagination and kindle interest in a complicated and colourful past.
