About This Item
Toronto, ON: Key Porter Books, 2007. Soft cover. Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; Through the stories of a host of individuals who together shaped southern Alberta's unruly history, this book traces the profile of a place both beautiful and contrary. This is the story of the immigrants and politicians who weathered dust storms and national policies to forge Alberta's unusual temperament. This is the story of the dancers and wrestlers and artists who depicted Alberta's beauty and demonstrated Alberta's talent. This is the story of the oil men and ranch hands who worked to ensure Alberta's prosperity. This is the story of the dreamers and ne'er-do-wells who refused to follow the rules. This is the story of winners and losers, mavericks whose determination helped to ferment the astonishing place that Alberta has become. This book recounts the tales of Albertans who made a difference, whether they were lovers or liars, saints or sinners. Their heads in the clouds and their feet in the mud, these characters together forged a fascinating history.
