Clinkskill's memoir is more, however, than a record of personal accomplishments, for he lived during a period of great transformation in the North-West. The losses and gains of those times are recorded here, too: the disappearance of the buffalo; the trials and tribulations of travel in the North-West before and after the coming of the railway; the struggles with the storms and bitter cold of the prairie winters; the North-West Resistance; the transition from colonial status to responsible government, culminating in the birth of the province of Saskatchewan in 1905.
With the passing of the last of the pioneer generation, memoirs such as Clinskill's become ever more important, for they alone now remain to evoke memories of that bygone era.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
