- History / Biographical
- Stanley "Windy" Carr (1890-1983) immigrated to Canada from England in 1907, and worked at ranches in Calgary before he was hired as a guide by the Brewster brothers in 1910. Stanley was active in the Canadian Army between 1916 and 1918, and returned to Alberta after being injured in France. Shortly after, Stanley and two other veterans started an outfitting business in Banff. Stanley married his wife, Jessie, in 1921. Around 1927, Stanley and Jessie purchased property at Tête Jaune Cache, where they built a home and opened a guest ranch. Stanley was a lifetime member of the Masonic Lodge in Cochrane and was actively involved in the construction of the Yellowhead Highway near Mount Robson. Carr Road (located by Red Pass Junction and Highway 16) was named in Stanley's honour.
- Scope & Content
- File consists of collected research documents pertaining to Stanley J. Carr and the Brewster family in Banff. File includes correspondence from the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development pertaining to requests for information about the Brewster family; autobiographical information about Stanley J. Carr, who started working as a guide for the Brewster brothers in 1910; newspaper clippings; scanned copies of photographs depicting Stanley Carr and others on horseback, ca. 1915; a genealogical timeline of Sarah (Irvine) Brewster, William Brewster and their descendants; and poetry written by Stanley Carr about the Brewsters.
