Abstract: T his book developed out of an earlier enquiry into the history of the bison conservation story at Elk Island National Park undertaken for Parks Canada.The broader natural, social and economic history of the Beaver Hills seemed to invite scrutiny.The post-1880 years are the richest in a documentary sense, but there is great time depth to the hills and an effort has been made to outline the shifting character of the hills since glacial times.I must first thank for unrecorded discussions and assistance the many colleagues who encouraged this line of enquiry.Thanks are also owing to many individuals who shared stories and to organizations which shared information and photography.To all those known and anonymous editors and contributors who laboured to produce the many large and profusely illustrated local histories pertaining to central Alberta, I owe a great debt.
