Saskatchewan History Puzzle Cache Mystery Cache

We celebrate Saskatchewan Day on the first Monday in August but without the attendant lists, quizzes and historical overviews that accompany Canada Day.  Here is a series of questions about our province that you can ponder as we enjoy another glorious Saskatchewan summer.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  Our province has a rich and vibrant social, economic and political history that has been captured in a number of books, articles and museums.  You will have to solve the questions about our fine province’s history in order to locate the actual cache. This one may even involve some old style research.
