The Battle for Banff : Exploring the Heritage of the Banff-Bow Valley. Part II 1930 to 1985

In a sweeping examination of the period between the passing of the National Parks Act in 1930 and the centennial of Banff National Park in 1985, The Battle for Banff follows in the footsteps of the first volume in this series on the heritage of Banff and the Bow Valley, The Place of Bows. It reveals how many of the features of valley life mountaineering, skiing, warden search and rescue, resource conservation, environmental activism, and community political development evolved in a period of notoriety for Canada's most famous national park.
