pp.202, “”The picture Elofson paints of the beef-raising era is gritty, sweaty, and comprehensive. His ideas are provocative and stimulating. His point, that small ranches adapted more effectively to southern Alberta’s environment, is well taken and adds an important element to our understanding of the ranching era.” A.A. den Otter, Department of History, Memorial University of Newfoundland “Elofson offers a refreshing view of the subject. Of special interest and value is his analysis of the inevitability of the demise of ‘pure’ ranching, and its subsequent transition to mixed farming.” D.N. Sprague, Department of History, University of Manitoba”
