Notes

This volume contains a community history of several localities in south-east Alberta’s Cyprus County: Comrey, Catchem, Hooper-Pendland, Onefour, and Wild Horse. The book begins with a historical overview of the area’s early First Nations inhabitants, along with reminiscences and stories of homesteading life and agriculture. Topical chapters on local schools, churches, organizations, services, and industries follow. The book’s largest section contains family histories (esp. of early homesteaders) contributed by area residents, organized by locality. Includes index. No publication date indicated, but illustrations in the book are dated 1981, making a publication date of 1981 or later likely.
