Canadian Cowboy Stories of Cows, Cowboys, and Cayuses

As one old-timer remarked, it's pretty hard to kill a cowboy: "About the only way to be sure is to cut off his head and hide it someplace where he can't find it." This is the history of a rare and tough breed, the Canadian cowboy. Concentrating on Alberta, but with a tip of the ten-gallon hat to the ranching country in Saskatchewan and British Columbia, the author pays tribute to the hardy pioneers who founded the ranching way of life in Mexico, then brought it north through Texas and across the plains to Canada.
