For
5 or so years before the NWMP were formed and arrived
in Alberta in 1874, whiskey traders had a hay day in
this mostly unsettled territory. Here's a note from
a whiskey trader to his pal, illustrating how little
a life was worth on the early Alberta frontier.
"Dear
friend,
My partner, Will Geary, got to putting on airs, so I
shot him dead. The potatoes is lookin' well."
- Yours truly, Skookum

Old West Rendezvous
Crafted
by The Wired Web
|
The
Province of Alberta, Canada was built around great ranches,
100s of thousands of cattle and by the skills of Cowboys.
The great ranches are mostly gone now, cut up piece meal
into smaller sections and quarters, and oil and natural
gas have long been the source of Alberta's good fortune
-and yet the legacy of the cowboy lives on.
