Notes


A history of the Calgary Stampede from its origins in the late nineteenth-century exhibitions of the Calgary District and Agricultural Society to its development as an annual celebration of western Canadian ranching, rodeo, and prairie culture. The author traces the evolution of the event from an agricultural fair featuring livestock competitions, produce exhibits, and domestic arts to an internationally recognized festival. The volume examines the people, organizations, and changing traditions that shaped the Stampede during its first century.
