Notes


A community history of Herbert, Saskatchewan, a town situated along the Trans-Canada Highway east of Swift Current. The volume opens with an account of the region prior to settlement, followed by a brief treatment of the earliest settlers, and then departs from the conventional format of local histories. Rather than organizing material by family, the compilers present a strictly chronological narrative of both the town and its surrounding rural district, with individual chapters devoted to each year from 1903 to 1987. The focus is on shared community experience, recording public events, everyday activities, achievements, and hardships as they unfolded collectively over time. Family histories are Not included.
