BOOK - A Short History of Manitoba
By Laura Hanowski.

This history provides the general reader with an accurate summary of the province's development from prehistoric to modern times, including the broad outline of major developments such as exploration, settlement, economic growth, and social and political development. Relations with the federal government are explained from the province's point of view. The book has been checked for accuracy, balance and readability by over half a dozen professional Canadian historians, editors, analysts and general readers.

A Short History of Manitoba mentions in particular the Riel Rebellion, the School Question, provincial rights, the rise and relative decline of Winnipeg, the growing conservatism of politics, and the way the Depression changed the province from a champion of provincial rights into a defender of strong federalism.
