Notes


A history of the coal-mining town of Bankhead, established by the Canadian Pacific Railway near Banff in the early twentieth century and abandoned following the closure of its mines in the 1920s. Gadd traces the community's development, examining the coal industry, mining operations, town planning, labour, and the daily lives of its residents, together with the factors that led to the settlement's decline.
