Comment

The foothills of the Canadian Rockies are home to Canada's cowboy culture. This mountain range of jagged, ice-covered peaks and unparalleled geography not only provides a stunning backdrop for those who make their living in its rolling foothills, but also a rich, moist soil ideally suited to cattle ranching. For over a century, the cowboys and cowgirls of this region have shown their resilience by adapting to the cycles of the land - in turn generous and cruel. They have adopted a way of life unique to this land, on which they depend for their livelihood.

Did you know that?
- The legendary image of the western cowboy is most often evoked in reference to the history of the United States. Yet Canada also has a rich cowboy heritage.
- Cattle ranching in Canada is said to have begun in the interior valleys of British Columbia some ten years before it was undertaken in southern Alberta. There are, however, distinct reasons for the start of cattle ranching in these two regions. In British Columbia, this activity was stimulated by various gold rushes, whereas in Alberta, it was first initiated by absentee landowners from Europe and the United States. By the turn of the century, these owners had given way to local family properties and smaller-scale operations, partly due to the emergence of new laws eliminating the vast network of concessions on which the first initiatives were based.

A wonderful gift or collector's item that will appeal to those who love Canada's natural beauty, the West and cowboys, the outdoors, nature imagery, art and Canadian culture.
