OLD STRATHCONA: EDMONTON'S SOUTHSIDE ROOTS
"Old Strathcona: Edmonton's Southside Roots" by Monto is an extensively researched chronological history of southside Edmonton, once the separate city of Strathcona, from its start as a scattering of Métis/Indian pioneer cabins in the 1870s to a bustling commercial/industrial/residential section of the City of Edmonton prior to the downturn of the 1930s. Bound together with "Métis Strathcona" by Lawrence, a ground-breaking essay on the roots of Strathcona, which delineates the Métis identity of many of its earliest pioneers and the Métis pioneers' connection with the area's Papaschase First Nations, which was subsequently thoroughly dispossessed.
