Frontier Books, published by W. J. Gage Limited-Toronto, featured historical novels especially written by Canadian authors for boys and girls from 10-14. Each book took readers into a different part of Canada at a different period in its history; each story was built around the life of a person who made a contribution to the exploration or development of Canada.
Doug was hired to do cover artwork for the first of four Frontier Books, published in 1961.
