The first places of accomodation came to Jasper National Park before 1911, they came as the result of railway construction. Hotel Fitzhugh was among these.

This 87 page volume deals with such topics as : Point Cabin, Major Fred Brewster, Tent City, a silver totem pole golf trophy, movie stars like Bing Crosby, the fire of 1952, Sky Line Trail Rides, bicycle-waiters, bear-watching buses, fishing, and mountain-climbing guides. Well illustrated with b/w archive photos. 2 MAPS. Cond : Paper wrapper is gold and buff with black letters. Cover graphic is from a 1926 CNR promotional brochure. Edges and corners mostly sharp w/ minor chips and light rubs. No names, marks, creases, nor tears . Colours bright, binding tight ! Al;most giftable ! Quote (p. 68): " One of the jobs unique to the Lodge is that of room-service waiter _. _ on a bicycle.
