Description: This book chronicles the history of British Columbia from its first discovery to the brink of the 20th century, with a particular focus on the different periods of its development. Starting from the pre-historic era inhabited by native tribes, the narrative moves through the fur trading era when British navigators first discovered the region and the subsequent colonization period in which immigration and mining began to shape the region. The author analyzes themes of exploration, trade, governance, and the environment, weaving together primary and secondary sources to construct a comprehensive account of the province's past. By synthesizing first-hand accounts from explorers and settlers with historical research, this book provides a unique perspective on the forces that have shaped British Columbia's identity and its place within Canada.
