520 1 $a"This book celebrates British Columbia's colourful history with a collection of tales, vignettes and anecdotes about the people who helped make this province what it is today. Beginning with the founding of the colony in 1858, and moving through to the present day, author Gerald Truscott presents a series of loosely linked stories that flow like a conversation among friends." "Did you know that the colony's roots formed in the Fraser River mines? While Governor James Douglas established the colonial government, Judge Matthew Begbie brought justice to the gold fields and swiftly growing settlements in the vast colony. The province has always had its share of criminals, like Bill Miner, the train robber. It's also attracted interesting characters, such as Fred Tibbs, who climbed to the top of a Sitka Spruce one morning to play his cornet, and John Moore Robinson, who founded and named the townsite of Naramata on the advice of his personal spirit guides. And so the stories progress, illuminated by colour photographs and artwork."--Jacket.
