Saskatchewan's Playground: A History of Prince Albert National Park

From Taylor's review, attached: "For the most part, Professor Waiser succeeds admirably in describing the various and often competing interests behind the development of the park. Part of his success in this regard is due to his avoidance of a single narrative thread, building each chapter around a self-contained topic that cumulatively takes the read through a chronology of the park’s history. The first chapters, for instance, treat the topics of native land use and subsequent Euro-Canadian settlement and resource exploitation in the area. Chapter 3, ‘The Political Art of Park Making,’ shows how the park was established not from rational planning, but largely through the ability of Prince Alberta riding for accepting him on such short notice in 1925. Other chapters treat topics such as the early warden service, the development of the townsite of Waskesiu, Grey Owl, and wildlife policies." Pg 264.
