The Albertans: From Settlement
to Super Province 1905-2005


magnificent record of Alberta's first century and the extraordinary people who turned a remote outpost of the British Empire into a prosperous and dynamic super province.
The influx of settlers and Alberta's first great boom; the province's heroic contribution to the Great War; the drought and economic devastation of the Great Depression; the discovery of oil at Leduc and a new beginning; World War Two - the war that united the province; the great political battles of Brownlee, Aberhart, Manning and Lougheed; the emergence of Alberta as the engine of the Canadian economy energy-rich, debt-free and on the verge of a 21st-century adventure.

It's all here in 328 pages of stunning photographs and a gripping narrative from veteran Alberta journalist and author Paul Stanway. One of the great sagas of the past century is brought to life in this unique memento of Alberta's astonishing growth.

Based on the ground-breaking 12-volume series Alberta In The 20th Century - the most popular provincial history ever produced - this companion volume brings Alberta's story up to date with dozens of new photographs and enhanced content. With a deluxe binding and printed to the highest standards, this is a made-in-Alberta record of the province's first century that every Albertan will want to own and cherish for years to come.
