Synopsis

BC's best history writers bring the province's early days to life in these pages. Illustrated with over 80 colour photos, plus maps and archival illustrations, Frontier Days in British Columbia is a fountain of information and a visual treat. Editor Garnet Basque's selection of 20 great west-coast stories offers entertaining lore from the high seas to the high country, ranging from the fateful voyage of the Grappler to the legendary exploits of packer Jean ""Cataline"" Caux, and from the first Hudson's Bay Company forts to the age of whaling.
