In the Footsteps of Giants, [Vol. 02]In the Footsteps of Giants, [Vol. 02]

Our two fictional heroes, Sarah and Harry, are back in Volume 2 to continue to explore Calgary's exciting early history. Even though a year has passed, these amazing kids are still eleven and nine years old respectively. In this book they will learn about the legends and the history of the aboriginal peoples in the Calgary area. Stories outline the life of Chinese immigrants and the contributions they made to the development of Calgary after completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Early religious leaders were important in serving the spiritual and physical needs of the settlers and the aboriginal people in the territory. Join the journey of one of Calgary's first Europeans to homestead in the area as he travelled from his native Ireland through the United States before settling down here. Appreciate the many contributions of several women in helping to build the society we enjoy today. Many of these people are not the most prominent in our history but they all made important contributions to the foundation of Calgary."-- Provided by publisher.
