A top-ten 2023 Bestseller

In this book, scientist-historian Gordon Goldsborough hits the road in search of adventure and little-known stories from Manitoba's past. Among the places he visits are underground radiation monitoring posts from the Cold War, a remote hydroelectric generating station, cruise ships on the Red River, and the original route of the Trans-Canada Highway.

"Goldsborough underscores again and again the need to take stock of the past through our architecture... At a time when official support for history is waning--the collections and records of the Manitoba Archaeological Society are stored in a car wash in Virden--?it is quite often the private citizen who maintains these sites, slowing the passage of time just enough for the past to be recorded. In that way, Goldsborough, too, is making his mark on the preservation of Canadian history." --J.R. Patterson, Literary Review of Canada
