The event of the 1901 Bull Sale in Calgary
was a large social occasion for
a generation
of true pioneers, some absolute
heroes in
the history of the area, famed
for their
courage and tenacity in a harsh,
very remote
landscape.
Figures portrayed in the mural were drawn
from old photo archives, mostly
from the
Glenbow Foundation, Calgary. Whether all these were present at the first
Spring Bull sale, it’s likely many were,
and all would have had a keen interest.
The mural is a symbolic representation
of
the event. Unknowns included
show the wide
variety of individuals involved
in the cattle
business at the time. |
