Book Description

There are certain places that history seems to favour, where important events and people are drawn, decade after decade. The Saskatchewan Valley, the neck of land between the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers before they meet at The Forks, is one of those places. Famous traders, explorers, artists, politicians, and writers have all left their mark, each adding another layer to its rich past.

About the Author

Author Victor Friesen was born into this cradle of history and grew up among the shadows of such giants as Peter Pond, David Thompson, Paul Kane, John Palliser, Gabriel Dumont, and Louis Riel. In Where the River Runs he captures the drama of those frontier days through the exciting tales of the historic figures who put the region on the map. Throughout the book, the two great rivers run, shaping the past, present, and future of the land and its people.
