Vintage 1976 In 1860, at the age of fourteen, Susan Louisa Moir left England for British Columbia. After settling initially at Hope, she lived briefly in both Victoria and New Westminster, then B.C.s two most important settlements. Returning to Hope, she helped her mother open the community's first school, and in 1868 she married John Fall Allison, riding on her honeymoon over the Allison Trail into the unsettled Similkameen Valley. Her record of the voyage, of Victoria, New Westminster, and Hope as they were in the 1860s, and her memories of the isolated but fulfilling life she, her husband, and their fourteen children led in the Similkameen and Okanagan Valleys provide a unique view of the pioneer mind and spirit.

Volume XXXII of the series, Publications of the Hudson's Bay Record Society. This volume contains transcriptions of letters from Fort Victoria that were originally written by James Douglas from 1846-1851. James Douglas was the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) officer tasked with developing Fort Victoria and surrounding area. His letters document the daily life and business matters at this important HBC trading post. Many of the letters are addressed to Archibald Barclay. The fort helped streamline HBC's business activities because it allowed a circumvention of treacherous passage through the mouth of the Columbia River. Front colophon: "This copy is No. [blank] of a limited Edition which is issued only to subscribers to The Hudson's Bay Record Society.".

Paperback. Condition: New. "My husband, alarmed, left me and ran to the Indian ranch returning with one of Quinisco's sisters . She smoothed up my bed and suggested "whiskey" which I swallowed. I think I would have swallowed anything to get rid of the pain. About nine o'clock next day my baby was born two months too soon, the first white child born in the Similkameen Valley."In 1860, at the age of fourteen, Susan Louisa Moir left England for British Columbia. After settling initially at Hope, she lived briefly in both Victoria and New Westminster, then B.C.'s two most important settlements. Returning to Hope, she helped her mother open the community's first school, and in 1868 she married John Fall Allison, riding on her honeymoon over the Allison Trail into the unsettled Similkameen Valley.Her record of the voyage, of Victoria, New Westminster, and Hope as they were in the 1860s, and her memories of the isolated but fulfilling life she, her husband, and their fourteen children led in the Similkameen and Okanagan Valleys provide a unique view of the pioneer mind and spirit.There were exciting moments - a horseback journey to Hope through a forest fire that made the Skagit River boil, her husband's boat nearly crushed by a gigantic ice floe on Lake Okanagan - but setting the tone of the whole account is an abiding natural curiosity and respect for both of her closest neighbours - the Similkameen and Okanagan Indians and the wilderness itself.It is these qualities, expressed in forceful, uncomplicated prose, that make Susan Allison's Recollections a major addition to Canadian pioneer literature.
