Writings of Fred Schutz In 2003 (with funding support from the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation), the Central Alberta Historical Society and the Central Alberta Regional Museums Network published a collection of about 225 of Fred’s West of the Blindman columns in a book called West of the Blindman: Observations of a Half Century.

The book contains a selection of the columns under the following subject areas: People; Process: Places; Flora; Fauna; and Land and Sky. Very few copies of this edition are left.

​Our goal is to compile all of Fred’s columns into an online library. We also hope to publish at least one more book of his important writings.
