Description
Prostitution, gunfights, barroom brawls, and cattle rustling - prevailing images from the American old West - have typically been absent from histories of a gentler Canadian frontier. In Cowboys, Gentlemen, and Cattle Thieves Warren Elofson argues that the Canadian frontier was less restrained, law-abiding, and insulated from death and violence than has been believed.
