“Canadian Frontier” was a quarterly magazine started in 1972 that featured true stories of adventure, excitement, and risk from across the country. The magazine's content covered a wide range of subjects ranging from treasure to ghost towns to shipwrecks, as well as stories of Indigenous-settler relations and European settlement. This issue includes two articles set in Saskatchewan: one regarding the Battle of Duck Lake, the other about Prince Albert in the 1880s. Other stories include a plank road in the Queen Charlotte Islands, the Countess of Dufferin (locomotive), log entries from the Privateer Dart, Sable Island, stuntman Blondin’s tightrope walk over Niagara Falls, and Colonel John By.
