Notes


Illustrated history of Athabasca Landing, Alberta, now known as Athabasca, located approximately 150 kilometres north of Edmonton. Combining extensive text with numerous photographs and illustrations, the volume traces the history of the community from the pre-settlement period and the fur trade era through its role as a staging point for Klondike gold seekers, the homesteading and settlement years, its development as a northern transportation gateway between 1906 and 1914, the economic downturn of 1914–1921, and the emergence of the modern community.
