Next Year: A Semi-Historical Account of the Exploits and Exploitations of the Far-Famed Barr Colonists, ... (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025869490)

"Next Year" is a semi-historical narrative that vividly captures the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of the Barr Colonists during their ambitious migration to Western Canada. Written by Harry Pick, the work delves into the unique experiences of the nearly 2,000 British settlers who journeyed to the prairies in the early 20th century to establish what would eventually become the community of Lloydminster.

Combining personal insight with historical context, the text explores the dual nature of the expedition-detailing both the exploits of the resilient pioneers and the exploitations they faced during their arduous journey and subsequent settlement. The book provides a detailed look at the harsh realities of homesteading on the Canadian frontier, from the logistical nightmares of the trek across the wilderness to the socio-economic challenges of carving out a new life in an unfamiliar land. "Next Year" stands as an important historical record of Western Canadian settlement, offering a poignant perspective on the dream of a new life and the perseverance required to turn that dream into reality.
