High on a Windy Hill: The Story of the Prince of Wales Hotel
by Ray Djuff
The story of the impressive Prince of Wales Hotel is filled with intrigue. Opened in 1927 for the Saint Paul, Minnesota-based Great Northern Railway, this unique structure provided an oasis during Prohibition for thirsty Americans. Since these boozy beginnings, the hotel, which overlooks the beautiful Waterton Lake, has survived floods, fire, high winds and even closure. Now a national historic site, the Prince of Wales Hotel receives rightful tribute in High on a Windy Hill.
Ray Djuff, former employee of the Prince of Wales Hotel, spent 20 years researching this book, uncovering facts and details long considered lost. Vivid historic photographs bring to life the story of this grand survivor of the golden age of railway resort development.
