Revenge of the Land
A Century of Greed, Tragedy, and Murder on a Saskatchewan Farm
Checking Availibility...Description
When a young man committed the gruesome murder of his grandparents on a seemingly ordinary Saskatchewan farm, Maggie Siggins's interest was caught. But her attention soon turned to the farm itself--and to the stories of those who had owned it over the years. She found a history of ruthless men obsessed with acquiring more and more land, and hungry to exploit it. A chronicle of these settlers' lives, Revenge of the Land is no less than a fascinating history of the settlement of the Prairies themselves.
