Abstract: The book is a testament to three sons’ love for their parents, Ed and Dorothy. Ed and Dorothy were kind and caring people and raised their family with those values. This book is also a testament to a family’s love of community, the community of Banff National Park.I hope when you read this book, you’ll be immersed in a bygone era that includes the Second World, to the backcountry of Canada’s oldest national park. I hope you will see a way of life that can never be recreated in a place that is ever-changing but will always be home to Ed and Dorothy. (Edited down from Our Family Lines website)

Abstract: Pertains to a collection of photographs and text pertaining to various buildings, homes and shops in Calgary, Alberta. While history can be explored through a multitude of lenses, author Trudy Soby decided to focus on the ways homes, apartments, buildings, and hotels contributed in creating a unique identity in Calgary, Alberta. The publication treasures the past, paying a particular homage to some of the first homes in the Calgary area. As our world continues to be revolutionized, economic motives drive industrial change, resulting in the destruction of many of the first homes in an effort to build new, and more modern housing options. The authors acknowledge such changes, and work to commemorate the homes of some of the first settlers and pioneers in the city before they are gone.
