Book description: Calgary, AB, Canada: Rocky Mountain Books, 1997. New This updated "Valley of Rumours" relates the fascinating history of the valley from Neolithic peoples to present-day tourists. The area was controlled by the Stoney Indians in the mid-1800's when James Sinclair and Captain John Palliser travelled the valley in search of a pass across the Rocky Mountains. In the early 1900's trappers, surveyors and gold seekers set the stage for the commercial exploitation of the 1940s and '50s when the valley became a source of lumber, coal and power for the rapidly-growing City of Calgary. Nowadays the Kananaskis Valley is the heart of Kananaskis Country, a multi-use recreation area developed for Albertans in 1977.. ISBN: 0921102402. Trade Paperback. New.
