The story of Banff National Park as told by long-time resident Eleanor Luxton

Eleanor Luxton, the native daughter of one of Banff s pioneers, presents us with a labour of love a comprehensive history of Banff National Park from its geological birth, through its exploration and settlement, to its growth as Canada s first National Park.

This story of Rocky Mountains Park is a sensitive portrayal of the natural and human history of the Banff area, weaving together the romantic adventure of the earliest exploration and settlement with the realities of World Wars, depressions, and government influences. It will most surely command rapt attention from both the casual reader and the historian.

Publisher's note: Written in 1975 as an historical account and reprinted in 2008, Banff: Canada s First National Park has itself become a piece of the park s history. Respecting this significance, we have strived to replicate the original book by re-creating the original cover, leaving the text as it appeared in 1975 (complete with references to places that no longer exist, such as the Buffalo Paddock), and including photographs from Luxton s private collection.
