Interred with Their Bones: Bill Miner in Canada 1903-1907 (Inscribed) - Grauer, Peter

INSCRIPTION FROM PETER GRAUER on ffep; Clean, tight, unmarked; spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; appears unread; Bill Miner spent only four years in British Columbia during the first decade of the 20th century. His short stay had a dramatic effect on the cultural mythology of a new province which is still with us today. The exploits of this charming but manipulative rogue echo down through the years. His effect on and relationships with women and young children perpetuated the legend of this notorious American bandit and his partners into the 21st century, A fascinating example of the historical true crime genre, this well-documented volume highlights the ordinary people of B.C. during a formative time when the frontier was dying, and today's modern world was emerging. Intriguing glimpses into the operations of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the B.C. Provincial Police, the Royal North West Mounted Police and the B.C. Penitentiary bring a forgotten era to life.
