THIS WILD SPIRIT is a collaborative enterprise and I am grateful to those who have contributed to its emergence.

The Humanities and Social Sciences Council of Canada (SSHRC) and the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta generously supported the research and reproduction of works gathered here.

Many materials, particularly photographs, diaries, letters, watercolours, and graphics have been compiled from the Archives of the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, the Jasper-Yellowhead Museum and Archives, the Canadian Pacific Railway Archives, the Smithsonian Institution Archives, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Glenbow Alberta Archives. Staff at these institutions have been unfailingly obliging, delving deep into their collections and persevering with good humour as traces of the lives of the women who visited or lived in the Rocky Mountains of Canada were sought and pieced together. I thank Elizabeth Kundert-Cameron, Lena Goon, Don Bourdon, Joanne Gruenberg, Meghan Power, Bob Kennell, Ellen Alers, and Leslie Green.

The British, Canadian, and American womens fiction and non-fiction books about the Rocky and Selkirk mountains which are sampled, as well as works from the Canadian Alpine Journal, were found in the outstanding collections of Rutherford Library and the Bruce Peel Special Collections Library at the University of Alberta. I thank Michael May and Jeannine Green for many years of fruitful searches.

The research assistance of two dedicated graduate students was essential to gathering and organizing myriad details. I thank Fiona McDonald and Katherine Milliken for their tenacity and collegiality during long hours of research and conversation exploring matters as diverse as glaciology and copyright law. I am grateful also to Melanie Niemi and Don Cooper who shared research sources, and to the reviewers of the original manuscript whose incisive comments guided the anthologys final form.
