Having taken the Red River route to Emerson, many of the first settlers to the south central region of Manitoba then walked along the north side of the Pembina River to their homesteads. Emerson was, thus, an important communication centre for the region.
This 140 page history of Southern Manitoba by Ed Ledohowski contains many photographs never before seen in publications and features many memoirs from Manitoba's past.
