Jean Chr矇tien, the former Prime Minister of Canada, introduces this history of Jasper National Park, published in the centennial year of its establishment. MacLaren (history and
classics/English and field studies, U. of Alberta) compiles nine essays tracing the park's history/ecology in the context of the humans living in the upper Athabasca River watershed: Native
peoples, fur traders, tourists. Images include topographical maps, sketches, color and b&w photos, and tourist material, e.g., a now politically incorrect postcard of feeding a bear.
