The summer of 1954 consisted of a motor car trip originating in Pennsylvania that worked west through Michigan, North Dakota, and Montana before reatching Banff. Also includes lists of mileages, people met during both summers, telephone numbers, information about flying with Air Canada (most likely in 1953), and the deaths of the Mexican tourists on Mt.

History / Biographical
Herbert Alonzo "Soapy" Smith, 1878-1948, was a rancher, guide and outfitter at Jumping Pound, Banff, and Seebe, Alberta, Canada. Smith came to Canada in 1904 and worked on ranches in the Jumping Pound district. In 1906 he began working for Brewster Brothers as a cook and guided for them until ca.1920. During the winters, he raised and boarded horses, returning to Banff each outfitting season. In about 1923, Smith started a new ranch, the present day Rafter 6 near Seebe, from which he outfitted and guided. In later years, he frequently outfitted for the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies.
