Hardcover. Condizione: Fine +. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Third Edition. Hot on the heels of `Leaves of the Medicine Tree' comes this personal anecdotal history of one of Western Canada's most colourful ranching towns - High River, Alberta . The title comes from the Blackfoot word : `Ispitsi' meaning high. These tales cover… bar room brawls, logging operations, horse races, lacrosse and polo teams - as well as the local fire department . Lots of rough edged stuff !! The time period is approx. 1895 to 1940. LEARN more about : Brook Wybrow a remittance man, Old Sapooks, the EP Ranch, George Lane , the Armistice Day Parade, Ensign, A Seven Boys wagon crew, Phil Weinard, Prohibition, the Pest House and what the term `ribbons' means as it applies to horses. TEXT is complemented by b/w (archive) photographs and also by (pencil) drawings by cowboy artist Rich Roenisch. Cond : Boards are burgundy with silver gilt lettering. No graphics. D.J. is white with a colour illustration by Roenisch of 17 Indian ponies at a watering hole. Volume and d.j. are both tight, clean and bright in all aspects. No names, marks, creases. No flaws. DECIDEDLY giftable !! Quote (p. 80) : " The company lost a team by drowning in Sullivan Creek when it was in flood, and it was not until after the 1910 fire that they built log bridges over Sullivan and Flat Creek. They at one time had bridges over the Highwood, above and below where the Gunnery Grade was . ." Size: Octavo. B/W Drawings and Photographs (illustratore).
