Between the Red and the Rockies


Between the Red River and teh Rocky Mountians, and from teh 49th parellel north to the Artic, lies a region of relatively short, hot summers and uncertain rainfall. For centuries this was a region apparently unsuited to agriculture. The story of it's conquest by one of the greatest wheat economies the world has yet known is an epic chapter in the history of civilization.
