Book First Edition Signed
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Apparently the 1st printing. Pictorial 4to wraps. 96pp. Illus. Signed "Enjoy / Doug Cox." From the cover: "On British Columbia's inland lakes and rivers the vessel of choice was the steam powered, paddle wheel driven, 'sternwheeler'. The S. S. Sicamous was the finest, and last of these magnificent boats to be built. This is the story of the 'Queen of Okanagan Lake.'" The author, Doug Cox, is one of those rare regional historians who just soaks up history wherever he goes and then writes cogently and in detail of that history, in his case mainly southern BC. Fine. Uncommon signed.

Book First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Good. First Edition. 92 pages. Map. Numerous black and white reproductions of archival black and white photos. "Returns the reader to an era in Canadian history when raising, training, trading and selling, and the general use of horses, were in their last decades of necessity and popularity. The Patterson herds were not animals raised in the neatly fenced paddocks of today. Range bred horses were left in the mountains until maturity, then corralled, castrated and branded. This story deals with these wild horses and the lifestyle of those men who worked with them and depended upon them." - from Introduction. Patterson's family was droughted out of Alberta and travelled by covered wagon to British Columbia to make a new start. Unmarked with moderate wear. A sound copy of this adventurous depression-era history.
