"From pre-contact Indigenous trading through 1939, Thinking Big examines the history of businesses, business leaders, and organizations in Winnipeg. Discover how the Winnipeg business community dealt with challenges such as the Great Depression and the post-World War I depression, and organized itself to take advantage of periods of growth and prosperity."--

The third instalment in Blanchard's popular history of early Winnipeg, A Diminished Roar presents a city in the midst of enormous change. Beginning with the opening of the magnificent new provincial Legislature Building in 1920, A Diminished Roar guides readers through this decade of political and social turmoil.

From the bestselling author of Winnipeg 1912 comes the riveting next chapter in the city's history. Winnipeg's Great War picks up in 1914, just as the city is regrouping after a brief economic downturn. War comes unexpectedly, thoughts of recovery are abandoned, and the city digs in for a hard-fought four years.
