The common theme among these books is that they all focus on different aspects of local and provincial history, culture, and geography. Specifically, there are books about the Yukon Gold Rush, Niagara Falls, genealogical research in the United States, Canadian exploration of Western North America, women in gold rush towns, and the Canadian wilderness. These books provide insights into different aspects of local life and history that are often overlooked or forgotten.
