Notes


An illustrated history of the early Calgary Stampede through a selection of vintage postcards drawn from the collections of the University of Alberta Libraries. An introductory essay traces the origins, development, and evolution of the Stampede as a celebration of rodeo, ranching, and prairie culture, and includes brief profiles of several photographers represented in the collection. The reproduced postcards, accompanied by explanatory captions, depict rodeo events, parades, spectators, performers, and other scenes from the Stampede's formative years.
