When Dr. Mary Percy left civilized England in 1929 for the wilds of northern Alberta, the clock seemed to turn back a century. Battle River Prairie had no roads, no electricity, no telegraph. She became the first and only doctor in Canada's last homesteading area. Articulate, witty and outspoken at 90 years of age, the doctor is a gifted storyteller, recalling harrowing exepriences as a practitioner of frontier medicine in this film produced by the National Film Board of Canada.
