- Abstract
- Pertains to a text outlining the period of history in which boats were interchangeably used to describe the Peace River country. Prior to 1952, boat travel had been truly integral to the Peace River country. Through the use of text and images, the publication works to tell the story of the Peace River district during a period of intense reliance on boats for transportation of people, and resources.

- Abstract
- The publication explores the ways in which the history of the Peace River country was deeply entrenched within that of the history of boats. Up until 1952, ones understanding of the history included both that of the boats in the Peace River country, as well as the Peace River itself. The publication provides a history of this relationship between boats and the river, as well as a generous selection of photographs that aid in the readers understanding.
