Things I Never Knew as an Albertan

This is a great little travel book; I keep it in my glove compartment now. It's the kind of information that appears on those "historical marker" and "points of interest" signs you fly by as you're travelling and then wonder about for the next 5 miles. The information is presented as though you're driving along one of the main highways, but you don't have to be going anywhere to enjoy this book. There's lot of information in it about Alberta that I didn't have a clue about even though I've lived here over 20 years. (For example, did you know that Alberta was called Alberta because Louisiana and Carolina were already taken?) Nice, easily digested short blurbs. Definitely worth it if you're interested in the history of Alberta. The best of its kind on Alberta that I've come across.
