Notes

This volume contains a community history of the Alberta’s Deville and North Cooking Lake region (in Strathcona County, east of Edmonton). The book’s first half consists of overviews of regional settlement by Indigenous groups and European homesteaders, a section on Cooking Lake Forest Reserve, and topical chapters on local churches, schools, services, organizations, and resorts. The book’s second half contains family histories contributed by area residents. Laid in are six newspaper clippings regarding regional history and two booklets containing autobiographical stories by area residents Frank Dunn (see p.210, 259ff.) and Oleana (Grovum) Daily. Includes veterans list and index.
