Excerpt from The Range Men: The Story of the Ranchers and Indians of Alberta
In some cases this work might appear incomplete, but the collection of the full story of every ranch would be an impossible task. Ranches have started, flourished and (lied. Their very names have been forgotten, the old ranchers are scattered and passing away, and thus much information has been lost. But this work is the result of wide trips through the ranch country, careful studying of conditions, and particular pains in preparing only bona fide information.
