Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Price-clipped jacket has minor wear, soiling to jacket, , spine is sun-faded, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. This book meticulously documents the origins and historical context of geographical names along the coast of British Columbia and parts of the a…djacent U.S. territory, from the earliest European explorations in 1592 up to 1906. Walbran, drawing on extensive research, provides details on who named each feature, when, and often the circumstances or individuals commemorated. Beyond a simple list, it offers narratives and anecdotes, making it a valuable resource for understanding the exploration, charting, and early settlement of the region. The inclusion of maps and illustrations further enhances its utility as a historical and geographical reference work.
