Carol Snyder is a local author and historian. Proud to be a Western Canadian, born in Regina, Carol Snyder has lived in Edmonton since 1983. 

After “retirement” from her work with the Highlands Historical Foundation, further items of interest kept arriving on Carol’s desk. An intense interest in the Gullion families who settled on the land that became The Highlands resulted in research into the fur trade and the claiming of river lots along the North Saskatchewan River in the area which became the City of Edmonton. This resulted in her most recent book, After the Fur Trade: Living on the Land.
