Reviews

This is a fine book that helps to fill a significant gap in the historiography of western Canadian cattle industry and in doing so makes a valuable contribution to the agricultural and economic history of the province of Alberta....Indeed, the author deserves high praise for thoroughness of his research and the manner in which it is referenced in his narrative.
