Description
A postcard to Rev. R.B. Layton in Fairview Station, Halifax Co., Nova Scotia, mailed by 27-year-old Agnes Mary Kitchen from Banff, Alberta.
Notes
The Three Sisters in the Canadian Rockies are probably recognized by more people driving along the Trans-Canada Highway than any of the other mountains in Alberta. The mountain peaks were individually named in 1883 as Big Sister, Middle Sister and Little Sister.
