Explorers have come and gone; fur traders followed in their wake; gold brought thousands in search of large fortunes; the coal of Nanaimo had began supplying warships and merchantmen; lumbering, the giant that would over-top them all, was getting into its stride; and lesser industries were springing up to supply the need for a more comfortable varied life. BC has had a vibrant history, and this book explores our colorful past.
