The Last Pioneer

By Bryce Lundeen

This is a true story, my story about pioneering in Northern Saskatchewan as seen through the eyes of a boy. Although it occurred many years after most of the province’s farms had open fields, roads and electricity, it still took the same effort to succeed as it did many years earlier. As the story moves forward, the boy becomes a young man shaped by community, friends, parents and growing up on his Dad’s right arm.
A central figure in the story is Baldy, a beautiful horse that looked more like a pony due to his cross breeding between a Shetland pony and a Clydesdale work horse. Every event involving Baldy usually turned out to be an adventure due mainly to his exceptional courage and intelligence. This story is enjoyed by children who love animals and adults who fondly recall their own pioneering memories.

Bryce Lundeen

Bryce Lundeen was born in Regina Saskatchewan and moved to the northern town of Hudson Bay at age eight. Upon arrival his parents began to make plans to move to a farm 16 miles from town. His family eventually established their own farm after a typical pioneering experience. The hard work and determination required to succeed as a pioneer stood him in good stead to complete a higher education and a career in Engineering and Computing. Bryce is retired now living on Vancouver Island.
