Available at the World-Spectator Prairie Sunset: A Story of Change By Dion Manastyrski

In the creation of this poignant, high-quality, fi ne-art book, Dion Manastyrski roamed the Canadian prairies, photographing old aban- doned houses, barns, schools, and churches. He interviewed over 70 people who lived that past way of life, when the small family farm was at the heart of rural life on the prairies.

Also included are 50 historical photos and documents from government archives. The photos and their words are interlaced to tell a story that begins with the pioneer years and covers many aspects of their lives over the 150 years. Makes a great gift! $70 plus GST
