Mr. Shepherd, a pioneer homesteader at the turn of the century, shared in the hardships and achievements of the men and women who opened the West. As curator of the Western Development Museum for more than 20 years, he was dedicated to safeguarding the heritage he helped to create. Born in Canterbury, England, he settled near Davidson in the fall of 1908 and took up a purchased homestead 50 miles south of Maple Creek in 1913. He became interested in the early history of the Mounted Police and Fort Walsh and working with the late Commissioner Stuart Taylor Wood, he helped with the purchase of the fort site for raising police horses. His knowledge of the history of the West was further enlarged through association with the pioneer cattlemen of the Cypress Hill.
