Book excerpt: A continuation of the History of Central Alberta from 1840-1860 covering the developments of the 1860's. The 1860's were both the apogee of the Plains Indian culture in the west, and the move towards the political and economic growth of the west as a successful Native State. At the same time, it marked a crisis period and the beginning of the end of the west and the First Nations as an independent sovreign people prior to the hostile annexation of the west by Canada.
