Cranbrook Public Library

In ‘White Settler Reserve’ historian Ryan Eyeford looks at a reserve on the shores of Lake Winnipeg, created by the government in 1875. Instead of First Nations, this reserve was created for Icelandic immigrants, who would only experience hardship and death.
While serving in the First World War, Canadian R.H. Rabjohn kept a diary using illustrations instead of words. His drawings have been reproduced in whole for younger readers in ‘A Soldier’s Sketchbook.’
