Description
A collection of more than thirty essays covering all aspects of life along the shores of British Columbia, these are stories of small communities and the hardy people who have carved out lives on an isolated coast. Combining first-hand research with historical information, Andrew Scott introduces readers to the region's changing ways of life and profiles a number of hard-to-reach locations. This book is a contemporary portrait of British Columbia's unique, distinctive coastal culture in a mosaic of text and images.
