Esther Epp-Tiessen's history of Altona traces the development of the southern Manitoba community from its settlement in 1880 to 1980. Drawing on archival records, original documents, published sources, and oral interviews, the author examines the establishment and growth of the Mennonite West Reserve settlement, its institutions, and the community's response to changing environmental conditions, government policies, and social change over the course of a century. Includes bibliography and index.
