Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

To many people, Alberta represents the true Canadian frontier. It is know for its rugged image, for its wild west past, and for the staunch independence of its residents - whether they are homesteaders, cowboys, explorers, oil men, grassroots politicians or strong-willed feminists. This book is a wonderful collection of images and stories that tell of Alberta's many roots. Beginning in the 18th Century and continuing into the present day, this collection of over 150 photographs chronicles the development of Alberta from a frontier society into a modern-day powerhouse. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
