Saskatchewan Sentinels A to Z: The Prairie Art of Herman J. Friesen

Description

The images in this book have been organized in alphabetical order. As you journey through the alphabet, each image depicts a Saskatchewan town with the stately elevators that were so essential to the settlement and growth of the province. You will also gain an insight into the variety of scenery as it changes with the seasons.

In an effort to preserve the memory of those wooden grain elevators, Herman has spent many years photographing and then painting the images of what he refers to as "Saskatchewan Sentinels". In publishing this book he hopes the images will bring back fond memories for those who once worked at or used these elevators for their grain deliveries and will perhaps spark an interest in a generation that is more familiar with the inland grain terminals used today. The images in this book depict scenes of Saskatchewan as it was during the 1980's to early 2000's.
