"Should be in every Canadian history buff's library."
-- The Beaver"Authoritative, well-written... brilliant."
-- The Globe and Mail"Just in time for the centennial of
Saskatchewan, Bill Waiser has delivered a monumental history of the
province that will still be admired for its scholarship when the
bicentennial rolls around."
-- Canadian Geographic Magazine"Wonderfully written in an
authoritative but engaging style, Waiser's Saskatchewan is a story
of challenge where buoyant hopes and dashed dreams were acted out
by generations of people whose origins and backgrounds were as
diverse as the physical environment they settled. . . The historic
photographs tell their own graphic story while the marvellous color
plates evoke the heart and soul of this unique Canadian province. .
. This is a fine book well worth reading."
-- Great Plains Quarterly"Saskatchewan's people have a strength of
character that has been forged by the demands of hard work, the
often inhospitable climate, and the intensity of political debate.
Bill Waiser's Saskatchewan: A New History captures the heart and
the fearlessness of the people and the place I'm proud to call
home."
-- Pamela Wallin"Brilliant. . . Full of surprises and lively tales.
. . ought to be required reading for every newcomer to
Saskatchewan. It could save them years trying to figure out
Saskatchewan's unique character."
-- The Saskatoon Star-Phoenix
