Book excerpt: Allan Glen Elliott, who is best known as Curly, wrote The Life Story of a Farm Boy from Saskatchewan to carry out a longstanding Elliott family tradition of documenting one's life story to pass on to future generations. This book was first printed in 2016 to share with his immediate family. Due to the appreciation the book received, and interest from others requesting to read it, he made the decision to share it with you. The Life Story of a Farm Boy from Saskatchewan captures important moments in Canadian history. Starting from humble beginnings during the Great Depression in 1928, rural Saskatchewan, Curly illustrates what life was like for many Canadians living in the prairies cultivating the farmlands that feed our country. Throughout his adventurous life, we are taken through what it was like to serve as a young RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officer in northern Alberta, the gradual pull towards life in the big city of Calgary, and a glimpse into the brotherhood of the Freemasons. From moments travelling alone through the blistering cold wilderness for days on RCMP duties, we experience surviving in conditions not for the faint of heart, through the value of building a family, community, and working together. This is a story of adventure, resilience, courage and pride that we can all take inspiration from.
Download or read book A Lucky Prairie Boy written by Douglas K. Brewster and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resilience. Persistence. Determination. Ingenuity. These are qualities farmers possess, and they were required to be a successful pioneer. They also happened to be some of the founding characteristics of the Brewster family. Douglas K. Brewster was born into a long line of Brewster men, proud of their American roots, proud to be pioneers in Saskatchewan, Canada, and proud to be farmers. Their lineage marks their contribution to the various communities—big and small—they’ve inhabited over the years. Doug grew up in Earl Grey, Saskatchewan, but the pursuit of knowledge carried him all across Saskatchewan and Alberta, as well as to other areas of Canada and the United States. A Lucky Prairie Boy is the story of Douglas K. Brewster, a farm kid with a rich family history and a keen mind for the bigger picture. Always looking to leave people, places, and inventions better than when he found them, Doug pursued an education in business and professional accounting before starting his manufacturing, construction and farming businesses. He was just as concerned about the farming industry as a whole as he was about his neighbour’s farm and livelihood. But this story is not just about Doug. Always reflecting on the bigger picture, where his family came from to where they are now and will go in the future, Doug intricately weaves his family’s history and his ancestors’ stories throughout his own life’s narrative. Through a gruelling but happy childhood, first and second chances at love, failed and successful business ventures, friends cherished and lost, and unexpected and ongoing health struggles, A Lucky Prairie Boy is a testament to the Brewster family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After having had the disire to a write a book on my life for years but felt I should wait for the right time. I had no writing experience or special ability in writing skills. English wasn't one of my strong points in school, and my computor skills were limited. One thing I did know and leaned on very strongly and that was, with God all things are possible. So in Dec. 2010 I felt the time had come where I should go ahead with the project which I did. Looking back now on how well it went I believe the Lord wanted me to write this book and give Him the Honor and Glory for having helped me to make this a success. I had a strong desire to thank Him for what He has done in my journey in life. So as you read or have read remember that I could not have succeeded without the Lord's help. So this can apply to your life as well. God Bless.

Download or read book Never Rest on Your Ores written by Norman B. Keevil and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a century ago, a prospector discovered gold at Ontario’s Kirkland Lake and a son was born to British immigrants in Saskatchewan. The boy – Norman Bell Keevil – went on to become a renowned scientist, teacher, and prospector, discovering a small but high-grade copper mine in Ontario. Parlaying that into control of the Kirkland Lake gold mine fifty years later, he formed the fledgling mining company Teck Corporation. In Never Rest on Your Ores Keevil’s son Norman, also a geoscientist, recounts how over the next fifty years, a growing team of like-minded engineers and entrepreneurs built Canada’s largest diversified mining company. In candid detail he tells the story of a company and its makers, of the discovery and creation of mines, of the mechanics of industry financing, and of the role that mergers and acquisitions play in a volatile environment. Along the way he meets fascinating captains of industry and politicians not only in Canada, but in the United States and around the world. Finding an ore body – rock that holds valuable metals and minerals – and promoting its development in order to finance and create a mine, most often in hard-to-access wilderness, is complicated work, comparable to locating and extracting a needle in a very messy haystack. Underlying this history is a constant need to replenish the ore, and this need drives the people involved. Drawing new lessons from the turbulent period between 2005 and 2023, this new edition of Never Rest on Your Ores is both entertaining and instructive, a rare insider’s account of an industry that has been crucial to the building of this country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernest Boehnert (Baynert) was born on a farm near Carry the Kettle First Nation and grew up in the town of Wolseley, Saskatchewan. He arrived at the end of the Great Depression and the beginning of World War II. This was a turbulent time in world history. Ernie Bill’s childhood was during the 1940’s. The way of life was very different than modern times. People did not have the many technological things we take for granted today. Children often made their own entertainment because television, video games, cell phones, and electronic devices did not exist. Ernie Bill looks at this era through the eyes of a child. He provides a unique snapshot of his childhood that is descriptive, often humourous, reflective, and occasionally nostalgic. Ernie Bill captures the scene of being a boy on the prairies who had an imagination and ingenuity to meet any challenge.
