Item Description
A copy of "The Illustrated History of British Columbia" by the late Terry Reksten.
This book presents a lavish array of more than 320 photographs and is the first major illustrated history of the province. British Columbia has always been a rich and alluring land. The initial inhabitants were First Nations peoples. Then, from around the world, came adventurers, entrepeneurs and idealists who built fur-trade forts and small settlements. next came waves of gold seekers in search of fortunes, followed by immigrants in search of a better life.
People and events come to life in the lively mix of anecdotes, archival photos, art, maps, first hand quotations and compelling text. The emphasis on people and their stories, the brave deeds and tragic tales, many of them found through extensive original research, makes for a fresh and unforgettable portrait of British Columbia.
