Focusing on Montana, Southern Alberta, Southern Saskatchewan, and the well-known figure of Charlie Russell - an artist and storyteller from that era who spent time on both sides of the border - Elofson examines the lives of cowboys and ranch owners, looking closely at the prevalence of drunkenness, prostitution, gunplay, rustling, and vigilante justice in both Canada and the United States.Ranch lifeMontanaHistory19th centuryRanch lifePrairie ProvincesHistory19th centuryFrontier and pioneer lifeMontanaFrontier and pioneer lifePrairie ProvincesCowboysMontanaBiographyCowboysPrairie ProvincesBiographyArtistsUnited StatesBiographyMontanaSocial life and customs19th centuryPrairie ProvincesSocial life and customs19th centuryRanch lifeHistoryRanch lifeHistoryFrontier and pioneer lifeFrontier and pioneer lifeCowboysCowboysArtists978.6/01Elofson W.
