A true story of the west, it depicts the life of the Canadian cowboys and ranchers who played such an important part in settling the area of the Cypress Hills and the border country to the south. It is told in narrative form and carries one through the excitement and humor of life on those large ranches, just before they were divided into the smaller fam4rs and ranches of today. Here one finds thorough descriptions of how wild range-horses were broken, the epidemic of the flu in 1918, and the operation of a large dipping vat to curb the dreaded mange, where thousands of cattle a day could be treated. There are stampedes, and an exciting coverage of the largest horse roundup ever held in Saskatchewan, and perhaps Canada, where nearly four thousand horses were held in one bunch. All this is told with humor and nostalgia by one who lived it all, with his family on... The Great Canadian Range

One of the most colourful chapters in the history of North American settlement began in the 1880s when the rich Alberta grasslands spreading east from the foothills of the Rockies became the magnet for cattle ranching. Award-winning Cattle Kingdomprovides readers with all the colourful tales of raffish characters, political intrigues and partnerships, fortunes made and lost, and the harsh realities of prairie winters. The era also gave us the mythic figure of the cowboy, still prominent in Alberta today. Nowhere is the story of ranching more rich and varied than in Alberta. There was an assortment of high rollers, big-money men from the east, English lords and remittance men, along with refugees from the American west and ordinary folk seeking a homestead and a new dream. The newly formed North West Mounted Police was on hand as well. Famous ranches were created during this period, including the Cochrane, the Oxley and the North West Cattle Company (Bar U). The cast of characters included John Ware; the brave and foolhardy Major-General Thomas Bland Strange, who had plans for a ranch for retired British army types; and the scrappy Pat Burns, who parlayed a small slaughterhouse in Calgary into a giant meat-packing and cattle empire. By the time of the first Calgary Stampede in 1912, the cattle kingdom was on the wane. More and more settlers arrived and began fencing and farming the once limitless grazing lands. And then came the discovery of oil. But during its brief and brilliant season in the sun, early ranching in Alberta put an indelible stamp on the history and culture of the Canadian west.

"Relaxed in the saddle, I looked at the scene below - three thousand head of horses coming in to center from all directions. "My thoughts drifted back to the Madison Valley range in Montana, where the invasion of sheep drove us north - then to the lush sea of grass in the Cypress Hills of Saskatchewan. This brought back the memory of the hard winter of 1906 and 1907 -- The King of all winters, and to the great 76 Ranch of which I became general manager - and now this. Looking out over the hazy distance I could see that ribbon which marked the new railroad grade. I was overcome by a great feeling of sadness. Why? I know the reason now, but I hesitated to face up to it. I really knew though, as sure as fate, my great range was doomed. Once more I would have to move on. Where was a cowboy going to turn next? My eyes grew misty as I gently tapped my spurs to my horse's side and rode slowly on down the hill into camp . . ." Hearing these words from his father, whom he admired so much, prompted him to get it all down before it was too late. This book is the result.

For much of its 130-year history, the Bar U Ranch can claim to have been one of the most famous ranches in Canada. Its reputation is firmly based on the historical role that the ranch has played, its size and longevity, and its association with some of the remarkable people who have helped develop the cattle business and build the Canadian West. The long history of the ranch allows the evolution of the cattle business to be traced and can be seen in three distinct historical periods based on the eras of the individuals who owned and managed the ranch. These colourful figures, beginning with Fred Stimson, then George Lane, and finally Pat Burns, have left an indelible mark on the Bar U as well as Canadian ranching history. The Bar U and Canadian Ranching History is a fascinating story that integrates the history of ranching in Alberta with larger issues of ranch historiography in the American and Canadian West and contributes greatly to the overall understanding of ranching history.
