On the Banks of the Assiniboine

Winnipeg MB: St. James Anglican Church, 2001. Revised and Updated . Spiral Binding. NEW/No Jacket. 194 p.; NEW; a history of St. James Anglican Church in Winnipeg, first written/compiled by Anita Schmidt in 1975 and published by her husband Lawrence F. Schmidt in 1975, updated to incorporate developments from 1974-2001. First 135 pages seem to be unchanged from original, with added pages. Many B & W photos included. The story begins with the building of the rectory, schoolhouse and the church itself, between 1851 and 1855.
