A new book is set to reveal never-before-seen photographs of the Peace Region before the arrival of a large number of settlers. The book, titled “Unseen: A Glimpse into the Peace Region’s Past,” is a collaboration between local historian John Smith and photographer Jane Doe.
The book features over 100 photographs taken by Doe’s grandfather, who was a pioneer in the region. These photographs capture the landscape, wildlife, and daily life of the Peace Region in the early 1900s.
According to Smith, the book aims to showcase the region’s rich history and provide a glimpse into what life was like before the arrival of settlers. He believes that these photographs will give readers a deeper understanding and appreciation of the region’s past.
Doe, who inherited the photographs from her grandfather, spent years digitizing and restoring them for the book. She hopes that the book will not only preserve her family’s history but also educate future generations about the region’s heritage.
The book also includes commentary and insights from local Indigenous elders, providing a unique perspective on the region’s history. Smith and Doe worked closely with the elders to ensure that their voices and stories were accurately represented in the book.
The release of “Unseen” comes at a time when the region is experiencing rapid development and growth. Smith hopes that the book will serve as a reminder of the region’s roots and the importance of preserving its history.
“Unseen: A Glimpse into the Peace Region’s Past” will be available for purchase at local bookstores and online retailers starting next month. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Peace Region and its early inhabitants.
