"...an unblinking look at our shared past, and the portrait presented by Goyette and Roemmich is a warts-and-all affair, giving voice to many people whose histories have too often been overlooke... Goyette is an engaging writer and a grand storyteller..." -- Marc Horton, The Edmonton Journal. "... richly detailed, frankly informative, sweeping in scope and ambitious... a thoroughly absorbing work, the kind one opens for a quick look, emerging hours later with a sense of having time-travelled..." -- Canadian Geographic, January/February 2005. "...Edmonton's history is told in the words of the people who have called this city home." -- Prairie Books NOW, fall/winter 2004. "...history blockbuster. More than two years in the making... It chronicles a century of native, cultural, industrial, and social history, with generous space devoted to letters and anecdotes from Edmontonians present and deceased..." -- Lisa Gregoire, Quill & Quire Magazine, November 2005.
