Experience the BC and Alberta Peace Region as never before

300 historic photographs, with maps and illustrations . . . brought to the printed page for the first time. Discover the exciting history of this unique northern region: explorers and First Nations, homesteaders and paddle wheelers. From horse to automobile and from lamp to electric light, this collectors’ edition book tells the amazing story of the last area in North America to be homesteaded: the beautiful Peace River Country.
“The Peace: a history in photographs reveals the history of the Peace River Country in a way no textual history can. Utilizing many hitherto unpublished images from the region's archives, Don uses his critical photographer's eye to select only those of exceptional quality with something unique to say. The work focuses on aspects of our past, rather than inundate the viewer with all the details of it. It reveals what a diversity of circumstances our ancestors encountered. Long forgotten scenes can be relived and studied, and a feeling of Peace Country community reinforced.”
David W. Leonard, Northern Alberta Historian for Alberta Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture, and former Provincial Archivist of Alberta
