It begins in the pre-confederation period of British Columbia's history and describes a wide range of historical attitudes and events which influenced the defence of Victoria and Esquimalt. Includes an Anglo-Canadian agreement to place the first permanent batteries of modern coast defence guns and a British marine artillery garrison at Esquimalt in 1893. Within the broader historical scene, it shows how Fort Rodd Hill came to be a coast defence battery site and why it was built, equipped and manned in a particular way. 127 pages with appendices, selected references and glossary.
