The Bar U & Canadian ranching history
2004
Evans, S. M.
"In this first ever book length: study of a major Canadian corporate ranch, Simon Evans traces the three distinct eras of Bar U ownership, from its beginnings under the North West Cattle Company and manager Fred Stimson (1881-1902) to the era of Lane (1902-27) and Burns (1927-50). Drawing on a wide range of sources, including local and oral histories, Evans brings us closer to those larger than life figures and the men and women they employed, giving us an intimate portrait of a working ranch in its prime. Evans also marshals a wealth of economic data to situate the history of the Bar U within the larger picture of the evolution of ranching methods and the western ranching economy, making a valuable contribution to Canadian ranching history."--Jacket.
