I just finished reading Medicine & Maligne Lakes Area As I Saw It In 1927-1930 by Agnes M. Truxler and this video came up on my feed! What a great story. Love your videos, Norm.

Norm how many years were the two Harrigan sisters active trail guides for Brewster's. You only mentioned years not an exact number. A great tale as always well told, but maybe needs a second volume. Inquiring minds need to know, or at least my weak mind wants to know..

Good to hear from you Jim! The sisters guided until 1930, at which time they both married. Agnes married a fellow guide who eventually worked for Parks just outside of Hinton. Mona married a park warden and they worked close to Maligne Lake until they started a dude ranch east of the Jasper boundary. You might be right about that second volume!
