Cattle Kingdom

Early Ranching in Alberta

By: Edward Brado

One of the most colourful chapters in the history of North American settlement began in the 1880s when the rich Alberta grasslands spreading east from the foothills of the Rockies became the magnet for cattle ranching. Award-winning Cattle Kingdom provides readers with all the colourful tales of raffish characters, political intrigues and partnerships, fortunes made and lost, and the harsh realities of prairie winters. The era also gave us the mythic figure of the cowboy, still prominent in Alberta today. Nowhere is the story of ranching more rich and varied than in Alberta. There was an assortment of high rollers, big-money men from the east, English lords and remittance men, along with refugees from the American west and ordinary folk seeking a homestead and a new dream. The newly formed North West Mounted Police was on hand as well. Famous ranches were created during this period, including the Cochrane, the Oxley and the North West Cattle Company (Bar U). The cast of characters included John Ware; the brave and foolhardy Major-General Thomas Bland Strange, who had plans for a ranch for retired British army types; and the scrappy Pat Burns, who parlayed a small slaughterhouse in Calgary into a giant meat-packing and cattle empire. By the time of the first Calgary Stampede in 1912, the cattle kingdom was on the wane. More and more settlers arrived and began fencing and farming the once limitless grazing lands. And then came the discovery of oil. But during its brief and brilliant season in the sun, early ranching in Alberta put an indelible stamp on the history and culture of the Canadian west.

Twelve Quiet Men

By: Michael Edward Little

In 1884 Montana and Dakota were overrun with hordes of outlaws. Granville Stuart, asks his ranch foreman, to organize a vigilante posse from his ranch hands. Harley chose twelve tight-lipped cowboysThe success of the vigilante raids were noted in the regional press of the day. Sixteen period newspapers are quoted and attributed. Twelve Quiet Men has several likeable characters. One memorable young man is a New York dude. We watch as he learns about life and grows to be a man. TQM is a thrilling historical western and a heartwarming story of friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice, mildly seasoned with a pinch of love and good-natured humor.Because the author is a Montana native with cattle ranching experience, Twelve Quiet Men rings with authority.Twelve Quiet Men is 100% original and heavily researched. This novel is quite likely the most authentic western ever written.

Sex, Race, and Science

Eugenics in the Deep South

By: Edward J. Larson

In the first book to explore the theory and practice of eugenics in the American South, Edward Larson shows how the quest for "strong bloodlines" expressed itself in specific state laws and public policies from the Progressive Era through World War II. Presenting new evidence of race-based and gender-based eugenic practices in the past, Larson also explores issues that remain controversial today - including state control over sexuality and reproduction, the rights of disabled persons and of ethnic minorities, and the moral and legal questions raised by new discoveries in genetics and medicine. Larson shows how the seemingly broad-based eugenics movement was in fact a series of distinct campaigns for legislation at the state level - campaigns that could often be traced to the efforts of a small group of determined individuals. Explaining how these efforts shaped state policies, he places them within a broader cultural context by describing the workings of Southern state legislatures, the role played by such organizations as women's clubs, and the distinctly Southern cultural forces that helped or hindered the implementation of eugenic reforms.
