Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the party's beginnings in the Territories through its convulsive 1929 campaign and first victory that year under J.T.M. Anderson to its shadowy dissolution nearly 70 years later, the Saskatchewan Conservative Party struggles for relevance and survival. After their 1929 win, Conservatives waited half a century to form their next government, when they won the 1982 election under Grant Devine -- only to be "mothballed" 15 years later as the new Saskatchewan Party emerged to carry the right-wing banner in the province.
