Produktbeschreibung
This is the story of a one hundred-year-old log house on the banks of the Highwood River, in Southern Alberta, with particular emphasis on the time that the author and his family spent there in mid-century. The book details what little is known about the original settler on the site -- Alexander McQueen Weir -- and goes on to describe the changes in structure which took place under succeeding occupants, the Royle and Schintz families. The book is also a tribute to his talented parents, both of whom produced outstanding works of art, while living and raising a family under conditions reminiscent of earlier, pioneer times. Schintz imparts the flavour of the Foothills with vivid and often humorous notes about neighbors, Bar U Riders, and the Stoney people, as well as describing the wildlife that has always contributed to the magic of Alequiers. Alequiers will draw readers into the orbit of the daily life of a homesteading family who resided in one of Alberta's most prominent ranching districts with its whimsical and nostalgic journey into a recent, yet distant, past.
