A cowboy and pack horse in the Rocky Mountains on a late afternoon returning to a base camp with supplies. Reference was supplied by the Glenbow Foundation, Calgary. The horse and packhorse eventually displaced the birchbark canoe as the chief means of travel. Soon the Rocky Mountains began to be explored by bands of "Mountainmen". These men were in search of furs and either trapped themselves or traded with the Indians. The horse has played a very important role in the settling of Canada. If it were not for the horse, the ranching industry as we know it would not exist. The packhorse continues to be used today in many parts of the mountains of British Columbia and Alberta. |
