Which Way To Turn Next

This is the story of a young boy in Ontario, who was fascinated by the tales that his brother told about the West, after having served in the North West Rebellion of 1885. Dick was discontented with his father's small eastern farm, and took the chance to go West to harvest in 1895. He found out how men take advantage of a kid, as he was called. He was one of those early pioneers who broke the sod with oxen and horses, as many others were doing in those early 1900's. He soon learned that the elements of nature had to be reckoned with year by year, such as prairie fires, blizzards, winds, drought, hail and floods. They broke his pocket book, but never his spirit. He and his wife raised a family through those hard times, living to see them all married. Then they enjoyed two generations of grandchildren as they lived in their country home overlooking the beautiful Qu'Appelle Valley.
