Notes


A collection of first-hand accounts from farmers and ranchers living within Palliser’s Triangle, this volume recounts how communities in southwest Saskatchewan and southeast Alberta have countered John Palliser’s nineteenth-century claim that the region was agriculturally barren. Blending personal narratives with current research on climate adaptation, the book highlights local strategies of ingenuity, mutual support, and environmental resilience in one of the driest, stretches of the Canadian Prairies.
