A photographic tribute to the iconic wooden grain elevators that once defined the Canadian Prairies. Through striking photographs and historical commentary, the book documents these disappearing landmarks across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, highlighting their role in farming communities and prairie history. It celebrates the elevators as enduring symbols of the region's agricultural heritage while preserving the stories of the towns and people connected to them before many vanish from the landscape.
