Some of the websites I go to to read for free are:

Here's an example. This a a short read about a guy that went up the North Sask river and explored Modeste creek by Drayton Valley in the 1870's. The guy has to eat his dogs and barely makes it back to ft. Edmonton.

Here is Rev. Rundle's book for free online. The mid 1800's. He was around central Alberta.

Complete sidetrack, but that's awesome stuff there RedBullets. The 1870 read is amazing. Should be a complete separate thread on these old historic tales. Buffalo everywhere. Not wanting to go south of the Red Deer river due to the Blackfoot and Blood tribes. Leaving strychnine in a buffalo carcass for the wolves after you take the good cuts (Handhills area)

I wouldn't want to live in those times, but would be a pretty cool visit......
