Physical Description: 312 p.

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Subjects: World War I; World War, 1914-1918; Internment Camps; Government; Calgary Stampede; History-Canada

Abstract: "From 1914 to 1920, thousands of men who had immigrated to Canada from the Austro-Hungarian Empire were imprisoned as "enemy aliens," many with their families. Most were Ukrainians; almost all were civilians. The Stories Were Not Told presents this largely unrecognized event through photography, cultural theory, and personal testimony, including stories told at last by internees and their descendants. Semchuk describes how lives and society have been shaped by acts of legislated racism and how to move toward greater reconciliation, remembrance, and healing. This is necessary reading for anyone seeking to understand the cross-cultural and intergenerational consequences of Canada's first internment camps."-- Provided by publisher.

Publisher: Victoria, B.C. : Rocky Mountain Books

Published Date: 2017

Physical Description: 190 pages : illustrations (some color), color map ; 23 cm

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Subjects: Ranching; Horses; Government; Warden Service; Parks Canada; Ya Ha Tinda Ranch

Abstract: "An illustrated history celebrating the 100th anniversary of this historic, working horse ranch located along the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies. The story of the Ya Ha Tinda and its evolution into the only continuously operating federal government horse ranch in Canada is much more than the story of the people who worked and lived there. Its ancient history is an amalgam of geological evolution, with archaeological evidence of ancient indigenous people's use of the land for over 9,400 years and a biophysical inventory of flora and fauna unique to this particular landscape. So important is this small footprint, that it has been the source of a constant struggle for control between governments and special interest groups since the early 1900s, when the Brewster Brothers Transfer Company first obtained a grazing lease in the area for raising and breaking horses for their guiding and outfitting business in Banff and Lake Louise. This unique book covers the 100 years since the inception of the ranch: its challenges to survive intact to the 2017 centennial celebration and the stories of the men and women who worked and survived on the spread as they fought the elements and the politics to keep it as a "home place" for both the warden service and Parks Canada."-- Provided by publisher.

Contents: ch. 1 Discovery -- ch. 2 The Golden Years -- ch. 3 An Uncertain Future -- ch. 4 Some Degree of Settlement -- ch. 5 Resolution to an Elusive Future -- ch. 6 The Shifting Scene.
