Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance

The story of this glorious impostor rises above his deceptions to become a true history of racial injustice, which played a significant role in driving this brilliant young man toward his tragic end.
From the Land of Shadows
"Abandoned by his parents, Archie Belaney had a lonely and unhappy childhood in the 1890s in Hastings, Sussex, England, but found refuge in a fantasy world of his own making, centring on the North American Indian.

Appointed to Riding Mountain and later to Prince Albert National Park to look after a beaver conservation programme, Grey Owl wrote four books--books that remain in print and that have been translated into numerous languages...

Calgary's Grand Story
"Calgary was a Boomtown of 50,000 people in 1912, the year the Lougheed building and the adjacent Grand Theatre were built. The fanfare and anticipation surrounding their opening marked the beginning of a golden era in the city's history. The Lougheed quickly became Calgary's premier corporate address, and the state-of-the-art Grand Theatre the hub of a thriving cultural community." "From the viewpoint of these two prominent heritage buildings, author Donald Smith introduces the reader to the personalities and events that helped shape Calgary in the twentieth century. Complemented by over 140 historical images, Calgary's Grand Story is a tribute to the Lougheed and the Grand, and celebrates their unrivalled position in the city's political, economic, and cultural history."--BOOK JACKET.
