Abstract: 

This is a biography of Mabel -- MB -- Williams, who as a civil servant and author of guidebooks for Parks Canada, was instrumental in shaping and promoting ideas about national parks early in the century. A special thanks to Williams' niece, Frances Girling, for sharing with me her aunt's papers, which are now at Library and Archives Canada.
