Land of Dreams: A History in Photographs of British Columbia Interior - Woodward, Meredith Bain

Clean, tight, unmarked; light age tanning; otherwise absolute minimal wear; Fur trader Alexander Mackenzie searched for the "Great White River" in 1793. Prospector Billy Barker was after gold in 1862. Developer C.E. Barnes believed he could grow apples in the desert in 1908. Railroads and ranches, orchardists and outlaws, smelters and sternwheelers are all part of this vivid story. The 150 archival photographs, accompanied by an informative and easy to read text, make this a compelling visual keepsake of the history and the people of this part of Canada.
