Alberta is filled with characters - pioneers, cowboys, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, and many unsung heroes who have worked hard to make a difference.
Brian Brennan highlights sixty Albertans who may not all be famous, but have left their mark on Alberta, making the province what it is today.
From ordinary Albertans to such local celebrities as Bob Edwards, Betty Mitchell, Stan
Waters, Smiling Jack Gallagher, Wilf Carter, and Alice Murdoch Adams, Building a
Province pays tribute to Alberta lives and accomplishments.
Brian Brennan’s recent titles include Boondoggles, Bonanzas and Other Alberta Stories and Scoundrels and Scallywags: Characters from Alberta’s Past, which was a finalist for the 2003 Grant MacEwan Author’s Award, and has sold over 8000 copies. He is the first winner of the Dave Greber Freelance Writers Award, presented in 2004.
