Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 9x7x0; About 1885, as the bills began to roll in for the new trans-Canada railroad, Cornelius Van Horne opted to 'capitalize the scenery' around Siding 29, Laggan, and Lake Louise. In the end his scheme attracted tourists, horsemen, hikers, painters, mountaineers, prospectors, and entrepreneurs. These 160 pages speak of the men (and women) who took people from the end of rail to their destination...the colorful lives and times of such hunting outfitters and mountain guides as Tom Wilson, Bill Peyto, Jim Simpson, the Brewster Brothers, Fred Stephens, the Otto brothers-the true mountain men of The West. With a photo of Jim Simpson's record Bighorn Sheep, and Carl Rungius with a fine Bighorn Ram. Includes bibliographical references and index.
