More Abandoned Manitoba: Rivers, Rails, and Ruins
by Gordon Goldsborough
Gordon Goldsborough returns with more compelling abandoned sites from across Manitoba. Armed with a drone and a deep curiosity about local history, Gordon had more stories to share than could fit into one book. Adventure into abandoned quarries, dance halls, hospitals and more!
Abandoned Manitoba was a runaway success in 2016, becoming the top selling non-fiction book of the year in Manitoba. Join Gordon Goldsborough on further adventures across our province, discovering how we got here through the architecture of our past. |
