"In Frontier Cattle Ranching in the Land and Times of charlie Russell, Warren Elofson debunks the myth of the American "wild west" and the Canadian "mild west" by demonstrating that cattlemen on both sides of the forty-ninth parallel shared a common experience. Fosusing on Montana, southern Alberta, southern Saskatchewan, and the well-known figure of Charlie Russell - an artist and storyteller from that era who spent time on both sides of the border - Elofson examines the lives of cowboys and ranch owners, looking closely at the prevalence of drunkenness, prostitution, gunplay, rustling, and vigilante justice in both Canada and the United States." "Elofson builds on his history Cowboys, Gentlemen, and Cattle Thieves to provide the first in-depth cross-border study of free-range cattle ranching on the northern Great Plains of North America. In this new book, he compares common myths and surprising truths about the Canadian and US experiences of the western frontier."--BOOK JACKET.
