Editorial Reviews

Review

"...gives the reader a brisk canter along some little-known but delightful chukkers of southern Alberta's social history, with an engaging crew of visiting Royal Navy sailors, languid remittance men, professional soldiers, cowboys and homesteaders. An anecdotal treat..." -- Nigel Hannaford, Calgary Herald.
