Synopsis

The Place of Bows traces the vast epic of human interaction within the Banff-Bow Valley, one of the most glorious mountain landscapes in Earth and a place where different cultures have come together for millennia. It is a story rich in character and often dramatic in events, and helps to shed light on how Banff National Park became such a focus of world attention. For those seeking to understand the contemporary debate over conservation versus development in Canada's first national park, many of the answers lie within this book.
