Winnipeg 1912 by Jim Blanchard Book PDF Summary
1912 was a red-letter year for Winnipeg, Manitoba. Dubbed the "Chicago of the North," Winnipeg became for a time the metropolis of the west until the rumblings of the First World War ended the flow of investments, and immigration, construction, and economic activity ground to a halt. Beautifully illustrated with period photographs, Winnipeg 1912 is a lively and entertaining account of a vibrant and prosperous city unaware of its impending demise.
