Scope and content
Across the Smoky is the history of the early settlers “who passed ‘Across the Smoky’ and were brave enough to stay long enough to leave their mark” in the district from Smoky River to Sturgeon Lake, comprising those areas served by the post offices of Goodwin, DeBolt, Crooked Creek, Clarkson Valley and Sturgeon Heights. Accounts include individual and family histories by date of arrival, poetry, post offices, schools, churches, entertainment, roads, floods and rivers, armed forces, and the Smoky River Bridge. Artwork is by Flora Mehlum and Alice Wilde. The book was edited by Winnie and Fran Moore and printed by Friesen Printers in 1978. A second printing was made in 1996.The series consists of correspondence regarding the writing and printing of the book: the original, hand-written, first person accounts of the settlers or their descendents sent in specifically for this publication; accounts of community organizations compiled from research or memory; a series of township plans showing who was living in the district; lists of photographs and captions used in the publication; a codilith of a drawing used as the cover of the book; and a published copy of the book. Included with the original first person accounts is the Memoirs of Bill Sargent. There is also one unidentified photograph of a man playing a violin.
