From the Author
It's a blending of history and contemporary using architecture and place as a way to tie into both of those elements...I definitely feel like I know [my great-grandfather] better after having done all the research. And that's a lot of fun...[Banff] is an evolving community that continues to represent Canadians and how they relate to their environment.
