Alberta Remembers by Karen Brownlee

In honor of Alberta's Centennial, the magestic beauty of the grain elevator is celebrated by artist Karen Brownlee and author Ken Tingley in 128 vibrant paintings with descriptive text.

Based on the artist's Rural Prairie Communities series, Alberta Remembers pays homage to this rapidly disappearing icon that played such a central role in the development of the Prairie West.

Includes forewords by Jane Ross, Curator, Western Canadian History, Royal Alberta Museum and Daniel T. Gallacher, Curator Emeritus, Canadian Museum of Civilization.

Ken Tingley, the City of Edmonton's first historian laureate, has been involved in historical research and writing for forty years. He has a deep interest in local history and the ephemera that so often expresses that history. He is the author of numerous publications about the history of Alberta. Merrill Distad is Associate University Librarian for Research & Special Collections Services at the University of Alberta.
