Herbert Pierce
Herbert Chandler Pierce was a farmer, real estate agent and political figure in Saskatchewan. He represented Wadena in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan from 1908 to 1916 as a Liberal.
He was born in Tolon Creek, Dane County, Wisconsin, the son of William Smith Pierce, and was educated in Hutchinson, Minnesota and Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. In 1890, he married Martha Fernival Huffman. Pierce lived at Wadena, Saskatchewan in Dahlton district. In 1916, Pierce was convicted of bribery for accepting money to oppose the "Banish-the-Bar" bill in the legislature in 1913.
Around 1925, he authored a monetary reform booklet, Our Money System and What It is Doing to Us..., in which he indicated he was working on a larger work, a book that apparently he never completed. His booklet is reproduced in full in Peel's Prairie Provinces website.
