Harold Hinchsliff was Loon Lake, Saskatchewan’s pharmacist 1934-1955. In this volume he writes, gathers, and edits an array of perspectives on Loon Lake’s history. The book's first section contains dozens of topical chapters describing Loon Lake’s settlement and incorporation, businesses and infrastructure, schools and churches, clubs and organizations, major events, and influential community members. Sources range from newspaper articles to books to personal anecdotes. Hinchsliff also narrates a car trip from British Columbia back to Loon Lake, offering nostalgic memories along the way. The second section contains family histories contributed by Loon Lake area residents. No publication date indicated, but the most recent events described occurred in 1993, making a publication date of 1993 or later likely.
