Dennis Reaville was born in Saskatchewan in 1912. BAREFOOT THROUGH THE STUBBLE is the story of his boyhood years from 1916 to 1925; from the Indians' trek on the Old Battleford trail; through school episodes; family, farm and community events; dealing with the cold winters and the wolves; through lean or prosperous years; from a small shack on the rolling prairie to the growing town of Perdue where the family left Saskatchewan to come to Vancouver.
