- Abstract
- Pertains to a collection of photographs and text pertaining to various buildings, homes and shops in Calgary, Alberta. While history can be explored through a multitude of lenses, author Trudy Soby decided to focus on the ways homes, apartments, buildings, and hotels contributed in creating a unique identity in Calgary, Alberta. The publication treasures the past, paying a particular homage to some of the first homes in the Calgary area. As our world continues to be revolutionized, economic motives drive industrial change, resulting in the destruction of many of the first homes in an effort to build new, and more modern housing options. The authors acknowledge such changes, and work to commemorate the homes of some of the first settlers and pioneers in the city before they are gone.

- Abstract
- "Behind Lesser Slave Lake, between the Peace and Hay Rivers to the west, the Slave and Athabasca to the east and south, lies Alberta's Unknown Empire, greater in area than England and Wales combined. A few settlements mark its periphery: Forts McMurray, MacKay, Chipewyan, Fitzgerald, names reminiscent of its fur-trading history, [Indigenous] Cabins, Peace River, once known as a Crossing, Grouard, not quite a ghost town, Slave Lake, and some others. For the most part, this is a land of lakes and forests, abounding in fish and game, but (except near Fort Vermilion) almost devoid of people. A dozen settlements are home to a few thousand people, perhaps enough to average out a one person per ten square miles. The names of their communities reveal their natures. Wabasca, Atikameg - a Cree word meaning "whitefish" - Loon, Lubicon, Cadotte, Calling, and Sandy Lakes. Except for the teachers, missionaries, and a few other functionaries, the residents are [Indigenous]: Metis, Cree, Chipewyan."
