From the edge of the frontier to the centre of the oil boom,
Edmonton has been a vibrant city for nearly a century. Former
broadcaster Tony Cashman presents 40 vignettes of life in a simpler
era: the people and places that made Edmonton what it is today.
Edmonton when young (circa 1910) never thought of itself as small.
The citizens were young, an unlikely concentration of resourceful
individuals attracted from older places where they'd have to wait
for middle age to be leaders. The young city comes alive in the
stories they enjoyed telling on themselves as their budding
metropolis remained stuck at the bud stage for half a century.
These stories are chucklers, which may seem trifles, but add up to
a warm, authentic portrait of Edmonton as it was, and in many ways,
still is. Readers who enjoy Tony's previous books, such as
"Edmonton: Stories from the River City," are sure to love "When
Edmonton Was Young."
