The article recalls early settlers around Rossburn Manitoba, led by Mr Sleigh and neighbors like the Clervines and McPhee. It describes isolation, sparse mail from Shoal Lake, hard winters, cattle ranching, and the failed hope for a great town as survey lines and line choices altered settlement. It notes 1880 visits from Ontario migrants and a push west with high wages and cheap lands.
