Ghost Towns of Southern Alberta Along the Historic Red Coat Trail - Digital Edition

I've been creating zines in the Ghost Towns of Alberta series to show the historical rise and fall of once-prosperous communities throughout the province of Alberta, along with illustrations and even a map you can use to plan your own adventure to see these gems of history.

This zine focuses on communities along the historic Red Coat Trail, a transportation corridor that roughly traced the path of the "March West" by the North West Mounted Police in 1874. Settlement, agriculture, and rail links saw these communities thrive. But why did they end up lost to time?

The first in this series of zines, Ghost Towns of Southern Alberta Along the Historic Red Coat Trail, was shortlisted for a 2023 Broken Pencil Magazine Zine Award for the category "Best Info Zine".

This is the digital version of the zine, in PDF format. This format also includes the artwork featured on the front of the envelope packaging of the physical edition of the zine.
