- 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.

- 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."
