In the 1950s frenzied search for uranium, immigrants fleeing post-war Europe and job-seeking southerners flocked to an isolated northern mining town, joining the area’s First Nations and Métis. They found adventure, romance, tragedy, and a freedom never again to be equaled. Meanwhile, lamps made of uranium drill core sat in their homes and their children played at the tailings pond.

Interviewed more than 50 years later, the residents said it was the best place they ever lived.
