The Centennial Committee of Saskatchewan’s Rural Municipality of Cory #344 (now part of the Rural Municipality of Corman Park #344, surrounding Saskatoon) commissioned prolific CBC radio drama author Mary Pattison to write this municipal history. Pattison divides the region’s history into three overlapping periods, running from the early 1880s until 1967. She recounts the arrival of pioneers, the establishment of homesteads, and the growth of local infrastructure, articulating regional themes in development through stories of individual families. Includes 22 x 25 cm (8.5 x 10 in) fold-out map. No publication date indicated, but the"Acknowledgements" section's 1967 dating suggests a publication year of 1967 or later.
