On the Edge of Empire: Gender, Race and the Making of British Columbia, 1849-1871 - Perry, Adele

As New; Mid-19th century BC hung precariously at the edge of Britain's literal and symbolic empire. Between 1849 and 1871 BC's gender and racial character challenged normative standards of 19th century, Anglo-American social life. First Nations people outnumbered whites dramatically, and within the small white community, males outnumbered females even more sharply. White male homosocial culture and mixed-race heterosexual relationships were common and persistent reminder that British Columbia fell short of Victorian standards.
