The boats were a life-line to the people of the north, bringing in all types of freight including some heavy equipment to build local roads in each community. Prairie Schooners' and this name is derived from the fact that you are from the Prairies and not familiar with the big Oceans. There are some disasters noted and a number of people have lost their lives." - from the Preface.
