Notes

A locally compiled community history focused on the Beechy district of Saskatchewan, including the village of Beechy and surrounding rural areas. Rather than a chronological history, the volume offers a collection of personal essays contributed by area residents, documenting early ranching, homesteading, community organizations, and local institutions. Notable contributions include Florence Gates on the Early History of Ranching in Beechy District, Byron Clark on The Hanging J Ranch and Early Lance Valley News, and multiple ranching essays by Pete Perrin. Clarence Johnson recounts Stories from Pleasant Butte, while Art Phillips provides a history of the R.M. of Victory No. 226. Additional essays cover the hamlet of Demaine, the Beechy District Homemakers Club, local churches, recreation, and sporting events. A history of the Beechy Cooperative Farm Association Ltd. is contributed by John Trew.
