IMO, the best Alberta story of all is;
"John Ware's Cow Country" written by Grant MacEwan in 1960.
Three photos from that book ...
John Ware's story has been written again in a book called "High Rider" by Bill Gallaher in 2015,
but I haven't read that one yet ...
The man lived a phenomenal life ... born into slavery in South Carolina,
and eventually became a highly respected rancher in Alberta.
