Summary
Alberta is a province that many Canadians don't understand and indeed love to hate. In this history, the author describes the range of the province and its people, from mapmakers and ranchers to social reformers, from deadly weather and dinosaur… graveyards to oil gushers. While regarded as a province of rednecks, Alberta is also where the Famous Five fought the landmark Person's case, where free speech is taken seriously and extreme views tolerated, and where western neighbourliness is practiced, as its people give assiduously to charity and always lend a hand where help is needed. 2001.
