12 Mile Remembered Our Lives Before They Burned Our Homesteads
Flooded and burned dreams of a small community in British Columbia
by Ada Domke Jarvis
This story will, I'm sure, break your heart; it has mine. The mass destruction and loss was/is unbelievable. Community life, livelihood, homesteads, family, friends, dreams, animals, land, lakes, streams, virgin forests & shrubbery, wild flowers, wild fruit, mushrooms, vegetable gardens ---. The horrific list goes on, in a book you will be thinking of, talking about, and sharing, for a very long time. 12 Mile Community ceased to exist, in the 1960s, when BC Hydro Electric (founded in 1961) chose to flood the Columbia Valley, south of Revelstoke, BC, Canada

Walter had the foresight to chronicle for posterity, much of Twelve Mile's existence, while others were pre-occupied with meeting life's daily challenges.
