Notes


Grant MacEwan’s Colonel James Walker: Man of the Western Frontier provides a compact cradle-to-grave biography, tracing Walker’s rise from Ontario farm boy to NWMP officer, ranch manager, pioneer mill-owner, and leading Calgary builder. Drawing on local history and family sources, MacEwan outlines Walker’s many “firsts” in the young city — from civic governance and education to agriculture, telephony, and militia organization — and follows him through his remarkable First World War forestry service and his final years as a businessman and community leader.
