Notes

Barry explores the history of Saskatchewan through the origins of its place names. Organized by themes rather than by location, it examines how First Nations peoples, railways, immigrant communities, and other historical influences shaped the province's toponymy. Featuring more than 100 illustrations and 16 maps, the book provides an engaging look at the cultural, social, and historical forces reflected in Saskatchewan's geographic names.
