Sun Dogs and Yellowcake: Gunnar Mines - A Canadian Story

The author, Patricia Sandberg, has done a fabulous job weaving personal anecdotes into the story of Gunnar Mines and the community of Uranium city. As it became the largest Urainium producer in the world, it attracted immigrants from many different nations, making for a rich and diverse community life. As a writer of historical fiction, I was amazed at the amount of research Sandberg did to bring to life what once was in Northern Saskatchewan. Sun Dogs and Yellow Cake is not only a well-researched book of non-fiction, but it's a tale of the resourcefulness of many Canadians in the 1950s to the early 1960s, and how they managed their loves and losses in this remote town. Highly recommended.
