Duke Attached to Alberta Ranch Ties Enduring Legacy
The Duke of Windsor held a long association with southwestern Alberta beginning in 1919 after buying the EP Ranch on Pekisko Creek, 65 miles southwest of Calgary. He owned it until 1962, visiting only six times, with the ranch breeding Galloway and Hereford cattle and producing horses and hogs. Oil claims at the site were rumored but never proven, and the duke favored a Canadian, down-to-earth stance on rural life.
