"Published in celebration of the national park centennial, [this book] is a history, in pictures and words of our first national park, Banff, and the development of the National Parks system...It begins some 10,000 years ago with the prehistoric hunters of the Rocky Mountains; continues through the claims and counter-claims, shenanigans and hearings in the hot springs dispute...in a compelling and sometimes humorous fashion, [the author] has captured the quarrels, the passions and the human frailties of Canada's early entrepreneurs and of a government department, charged with preserving our heritage, an ideal––Canada's national parks."
