Inhaltsangabe
Raised during Canada's depression years, Edward Patterson travelled with his family across Southern Alberta and BC, in a cavalcade of three covered wagons and a team of horses hitched to a 1928 Chevrolet truck, all followed by 250 head of unbroken range horses, the foundation stock for a new start in BC. The book also describes life in Southern Alberta in the 1930's.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. First Edition. 92 pages. Map. Numerous black and white reproductions of archival black and white photos. "Returns the reader to an era in Canadian history when raising, training, trading and selling, and the general use of horses, were in their last decades of necessity and popularity. The Patterson herds were not animals raised in the neatly fenced paddocks of today. Range bred horses were left in the mountains until maturity, then corralled, castrated and branded. This story deals with these wild horses and the lifestyle of those men who worked with them and depended upon them." - from Introduction. Patterson's family was droughted out of Alberta and travelled by covered wagon to British Columbia to make a new start. Unmarked with moderate wear. A sound copy of this adventurous depression-era history. Artikel-Nr. 713h2005
