Cowboy, conservationist, and curator Martin S. Garretson was widely
considered one of the foremost experts on the natural history of
the buffalo as well as one of the preeminent advocates for the
preservation of the North American bison for several decades during
the early twentieth century. His personal mission to save the
buffalo from imminent extinction and to inform the American public
of the important role the buffalo played in North American history
resulted in Garretson amassing a fascinating collection of material
related to the bison and the people concerned with them and their
fate. Edmonton's first historian laureate Ken Tingley explores
Garretson's life and legacy through his collection in this splendid
catalogue, which accompanied a 2012 exhibition of the Garretson
Collection. The exhibition was mounted by the Bruce Peel Special
Collections Library at Enterprise Square in downtown Edmonton,
Alberta.
