Crossroads of the Continent
A History of The Forks of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers
Various authors Ed. by Barbara Huck

This is the first popular history of The Forks, including the fascinating underlying geology of Winnipeg, with its sinkholes and underground caverns, and the role of The Forks as a continental crossroads for millennia.

For years, archaeologists have literally been digging up stories at The Forks, piecing together our past. Crossroads of the Continent tells this engrossing story beginning with the geology, paleontology and glacial history of The Forks and surrounding area. Chapters on the aboriginal, fur trade, settlement and railroad histories, including the establishment of Winnipeg follow. "The Forks Today" will conclude with sections on the recent developments and events at the site.
