 Alberta was deeply affected by the events and aftermath of the 
              North-West Rebellion, the Boer War, and the First and Second World 
              Wars, on both the war and home fronts. These are the stories of 
              army officers, flying "aces," "barnstormers," 
              legendary constables, and adventurers. The narratives of these Mavericks 
              will facilitate student understanding of how war contributed to 
              the development of Alberta's identity.  |
