{"product_id":"the-cypress-hills-walter-hildebrandt-9781895830309","title":"The Cypress Hills: An Island by Itself","description":"With an abundance of buffalo, other game, and lodge pole pine, the hills straddling the Alberta\/Saskatchewan\/United States border were a natural gathering point for First Nations and M騁is peoples. Their presence drew the Hudson Bay Company and American free traders, whiskey traders, and wolfers, resulting in a clash of cultures culminating in the 1873 Cypress Hills massacre, an armed ambush of a Nakoda camp by a group of drunken wolfers and whiskey traders. This event brought the Northwest Mounted Police to maintain peace in the west, and led to the creation of Fort Walsh, today a national historic site. Hildebrandt and Hubner uncover the history, stories, and people to establish a historical narrative of this significant region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Hildebrandt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1895830303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781895830309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Purich Pub.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Walter Hildebrandt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075115610367,"sku":"9781895830309","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87fde4f8-dee1-44a9-9779-8d9d3531b022.jpg?v=1685457696","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cypress-hills-walter-hildebrandt-9781895830309","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
