See all formats and editions

Saskatchewan's Big Muddy Badlands provided the perfect location for Station No. 1 on the Outlaw Trail. During the last five minutes of the old west, at the turn of the 20th century, these buttes, ravines and canyons were known as The Devil’s Playground.

Indeed, the badlands that spread out from the United States/Canada border are full of many untold stories of the old west. For decades, there was plenty a horse thief and outlaw looking to rustle cattle and steal horses, drive them over the border and sell them.

By then, many of the infamous riders of the Outlaw Trail had been locked up or gunned down or chased over the Canadian border by sheriffs and Pinkerton men. Those who remained continued to hide out in Station No. 1 of the Outlaw Trail.

Some of the outlaws you’ll meet in these pages are Dutch Henry, Red Nelson or Sam Kelly as he was more commonly known, Frank Jones, Bloody Knife, Kid Trailer and others. You’ll also find photography of the Big Muddy badlands, Sam Kelly caves, and even the millennia old landmark, Castle Butte, taken on Linda’s many visits. So get your own copy and kick back to take a visit to the last five-minutes of the wild, wild west of North America.

Linda decided at early age that she wanted to be a writer and do everything! A few thousand articles, a travel blog at guide2travel.ca, 30+ books, and a number of radio broadcasts later, she's still got lots on her bucket list.

She has a Bachelor of Vocational/Technical Education (BVTEd) with an education major as a teacher-librarian, technical major in serger sewing, and program major in English. After earning her BVTEd, she went on to earn a Masters in the same program with thesis work in online education.

The position she loved the most, and that inspired much of her writing, was as a school librarian for 11 years in a number of schools from K to 12. After spending so long as a librarian, she wrote the textbook, Guide to Becoming a Library Technician, published by a California educational publisher. Then, she took a position as faculty head and instructor for Credenda Virtual College teaching Library Information and Technology certificate and diploma programs. Following that she became an instructional designer for Saskatchewan Polytechnic.

In between, Linda has done many different things. She grew up on a horse ranch, so spent time barrel racing and competing in horse shows. After she married a snowmobile lover, she got involved in trail riding, drag racing, and eventually, ice oval racing, with their team competing across Canada and the U.S. At the same time, she took a job as a traveling saleslady for a sewing machine company with the province of Saskatchewan as her territory, but also working in neighboring provinces and even at the Los Angeles County Fair. Hooked on seeing the world, Linda went on to become a travel writer and has visited 20+ countries to date.
