When he writes of the terrors of a cattle stampede or the incomprehensible difficulties of a lengthy cattle drive, he does so as one who has been there - he is a third-generation Alberta rancher."" Canadian Book Review Annual ""Elofson is particularly strong in narrating the horror of bad winters, prairie fires, and cattle stampedes, and his background as a rancher adds considerable authenticity."" Labour/Le Travail ""Elofson presents a much-needed alternative view of the early western Canadian ranching industry. He demonstrates that the story is not only much more complicated, but has many striking parallels with the situation on the other side of the border."" Agricultural History ""As a counterpoint to history textbooks and to movies that overly romanticize the Western Canadian plains, [this book] is both realistic and enlightening.""
