Peddling Snakeoil for the Modern Age

By William Holt

as a Loan Stars Smarchvember 2019 Adult top pick

This is a really great book that really opens your eyes to the use of hokey-pokey snakeoil based teething pain treatments that aren't Tylenol or Motrin based. Or then something else entirely that has nothing to do

Series: Cowboy Wild Hardcover David Campion 9781926855981 $39.95 PHOTOGRAPHY May 15, 2012

Love it or hate it, the Calgary Stampede is a place where myth, history and spectacle collide. 100 years after an American vaudeville cowboy first dreamed it up, the Stampede remains an unrivalled homage to the West. Cowboy Wild was more than a decade in the making. Photographer David Campion roamed the world’s biggest Wild West show and brought back a collection of images that speak to our fascination with the cowboy.

Series: The Calgary Stampede A Collection of Vintage Postcards Hardcover Ken Tingley 9781927330005 $24.95 PHOTOGRAPHY Jun 01, 2012

The Canadian Northwest shared in that grand tradition, and the time was right for a great Canadian cowboy showcase. After a century of international acclaim, the western dream continues and to commemorate the early days of the great Calgary Stamp... + Read More

Series: The Glittering Mountains of Canada A Record of Exploration and Pioneer Ascents in the Canadian Rockies, 1914-1924 Paperback J. Monroe Thorington 9781927330067 $29.95 HISTORY Jun 15, 2012

"This then is a book of mountaineering, not presenting the Canadian Rockies in their entirety — no single volume will ever do that — but including many of the finest things. It is also a book of mountain travel, under conditions such as perhaps the European traveller experienced in the Alps during the Eighteenth Century. Finally, it is a book of mountain history; for here is Geography in the making, and with a tradition behind it — a story that has never been properly gathered together, and whose details, in part at least, are gone forever." —... + Read More
