Editorial Reviews
Brian Patton, author and historian, Canmore, Alberta
In Great Lodges of the Canadian Rockies, author Christine Barnes and photographers Fred Pflughoft and David Morris have collaborated to provide a unique and original perspective on the historic grand hotels and rustic lodges of Canada's mountain national parks. As she did in her award-winning book Great Lodges of the West in the United States, Christine highlights the visionary managers and architects who were involved in the creation and evolution of such venerable hotels as the Banff Springs, Jasper Park Lodge, Chateau Lake Louise and the Prince of Wales. She also presents little-known stories about the log lodges, like Emerald Lake, Num-Ti-Jah, Mount Assiniboine, Shadow Lake, Skoki and Twin Falls Chalet, and the colorful characters who built and operated them. The book includes original architectural renderings of these hotels and lodges, many never previously published, and the contemporary photographs are quite simply some of the finest ever taken of these heritage buildings.
James Taylor, historian, Parks Canada Western Service Centre, Calgary, Alberta
Great Lodges of the Canadian Rockies tells the story of a group of buildings closely associated with the development of tourist resorts in Canada's mountain national parks: Waterton Lakes, Banff, Yoho and Jasper. Focusing on large railway hotels such as the Banff Springs and the Prince of Wales, as well as backcountry inns such as Twin Falls Tea House and Skoki Lodge, Ms. Barnes provides us with a lavishly illustrated introduction to an important aspect of the cultural history of the parks. As many of the buildings are important examples of Canadian architecture, including four national historic sites, the book is also a welcome contribution to the study of architectural history in this country.
