About This Item
Tight and unmarked-" For Albertans -- and for that matter, all Canadians -- the name of this western province is inseparable from the maverick attitude it connotes. Alberta conjures images of honest, backbreaking work, free from the restraints of propriety and status found in older settled lands. As with the province, the names of its cities and towns, villages, and hamlets reveal attitudes, values, history, and geographical connections. Focusing not just on basic facts, The Story Behind Alberta Names fleshes out the personalities, using humorous anecdotes, the context of people's lives and careers, and the relationship between individuals and the places named for them." About the Author: "Harry Sanders is a historian and freelance writer who has spent years collecting stories about Alberta's history and early residents. He is a past president of the Chinook Country Historical Society and the host of many historic walking tours of Calgary. He lives in Calgary, AB."
