The Men in Sheepskin Coats

This is yet another fine Adventures in Canadian History bookwritten for children by Pierre Berton. All the books in this seriesare outstanding and captivating not only for young readers but adults alike. This series brings us into an in depth understanding of Canadian History. This volume is memorable for it's tale of the struggles of different people groups as they faced the challenges and joys of opening up the Canadian West, specifically Saskatchewan. The only drawback to this book is we wished it was longer. The stories are fascinating. The historical aspects of this book gave our family a clearer understanding of the people in modern day Saskatchewan. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING!
