This volume pulls together biographies and early histories of pioneers who lived or traded in Saskatchewan's Rural Municipality of Maple Creek #111 prior to 1900. The book opens with a historical overview of the Cyprus Hills region, an account of Maple Creek's development in the late 1800s, and a short section on the Skull Creek Post Office. The majority of the text consists of biographies and autobiographies of area residents. Contributions vary considerably in length, with authors or editors identified in many cases. No publication date indicated, but the most recent events described in the text are dated 1970, making a publication date of 1970 or later likely.
