Items related to Crossroads of the Continent: A History of the Forks...
For years geologists and archaeologist have literally been digging up the past at The Forks, piecing together its long and fascinating history. Crossroads of the Continent tells this engrossing story, beginning with the geological and glacial history of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers. The Forks has been a significant crossroads for millennia, drawing people from north and south, east and west to gather and trade. Its history as a meeting place continued through the fur trade, immigration, steamboat and railroad periods, ultimately giving birth to the vibrant city of Winnipeg. The concluding chapter - "The Forks Today" - outlines the development of Winnipeg's enormously popular heartland, with its myriad of activities that draw millions every year.
