Robert Crouch’s Enderby: Past to Present serves as the primary municipal and industrial history of the settlement nestled along the lower navigable reaches of the Shuswap River. Crouch chronicles how early cattle ranchers and milling pioneers established outposts at "Fortune’s Landing" directly within the traditional territory of the Splatsin people. The work details the establishment of A.L. Fortune’s grist mill and the Lambly Brothers' sawmills, which utilized river log drives from Mabel Lake and Kingfisher to anchor early civic expansion. Crouch traces the construction of the Shuswap and Okanagan Railway, which stimulated agrarian settlement along the river benches of Grindrod, Mara, and Ashton Creek, while documenting the municipal incorporation of Enderby in 1905 and its enduring role as a regional lumber and agricultural processing center.
