Description
In 1964, Patricia McKay immigrated to Canada from England in search of the wild, open lands and cowboy culture that had captivated her as a child. Although it had been tamed a little, the Caribou – Chilcotin of the 1960s still epitomized the spirit of the Wild West.
Pat learned the cowboy way of life firsthand, spending her summers working on guest ranches. She taught herself how to cook on the job, endured chaos in the kitchen, met a slew of colourful characters, and gradually embraced the nuances of the sprawling community.
Drugstore Cowgirl relives the old-time hospitality of the west – rodeos, roundups, campfires, and long hours of hard work on the ranch – and tells of a unique brand of people from a variety of backgrounds who made this land their home.
Written by Patricia Joy Mackay
Patricia now resides in Williams Lake and can often be seen on the boardwalks of Barkerville.
