Anthony J. Whyte

This book is a journey that delves into the history of this province and the explorers who are still peeling away the legends to find the facts. Whyte realized that Alberta is rich in meteorites and cites examples like the 1,100-year-old crater near Whitecourt, finds near Ferintosh, Vulcan, Kinsella, Mayerthorpe, Bruderheim, the nationally acclaimed Edmonton meteorite to the almost mystical Iron Creek meteor. Although scientific reams had been written on these finds, its circulation has been limited to the scientific community. Whyte wanted more and felt these incredible stories needed a greater exposure. But what Whyte may not have realized even as he penned the book, is that it really is a traveler's field guide. Loaded with scientific explanations of the various discoveries, it also captures the hunters, their experiences and provides a road map to their finds for future adventurers to follow."
