"The Rocking P Ranch was one of the most ambitious family ranches in Southern Alberta.
Founded in 1900 by Roderick Riddle Macleay, the Rocking P flourished during the Second
Cattle Frontier as open-range the Texas System ranches failed. Beginning in 1923,
Maxine and Dorothy Macleay edited, reported, and published The Rocking P Gazette,
a monthly newspaper grounded in the daily life of the Rocking P Ranch. With an audience
of their parents and relatives, cowpunchers, teachers, and cooks, the 12- and 14-year-old
sisters set out to create a family newspaper that reflected as closely as possible
the commercial publications of the time. With sections for local news, advertisements,
riddles, poetry, and contributions from Macleay ranch hands, The Rocking P Gazette
brings the family ranch to life. Clay Chattaway and Warren Elofson draw upon this
remarkable resource to explore the Second Cattle Frontier and to tell the story of
the Rocking P Ranch. Through the lens of The Rocking P Gazette, Chattaway and Elofson
detail not only a system of agricultural production, but a way of life that continues
to this day."
