The History of Jasper
Meghan Power
Following the success
of The History of Canmore, the first book in our Canadian Rockies
History series, we are pleased to introduce The History of Jasper,
which follows the same winning formula—interesting writing by a long-time
local, a reader-friendly layout, and the liberal use of historic and
contemporary images. The book includes sidebars, a timeline, recommended
reading, and a thorough index.
From
the arrival of the Paleo-Indians around 8,000 years ago through to
contemporary times, The History of Jasper leads both locals and
visitors alike on a historic journey through one of the world’s most
magnificent national parks. Providing balanced coverage of the entire
park’s history—from mountaineering feats to the construction of the
Icefields Parkway—the panoramic story of how Jasper grew into a
world-renowned destination is revealed.
