Paperback. Zustand: Good. Legends of Vancouverwas written at the turn of the last century and first published in 1911. The written collection of legends and myths was the result of a meeting, and later the fast friendship, between a Mohawk princess and a West Coast Squamish Chief. Before her arrival on the West Coast, Pauline Johnson had acquired notoriety as a poet and performer and as an active proponent of Mohawk culture. That she was drawn to local legends was a natural extension of an already prolific career as a writer and stage performer. Retiring from the stage when she reached Vancouver in 1909, it was only right that she continues to share her stories. These were first published separately in a local newspaper and later published in book form. Johnson's book of native legends quickly became a classic of Vancouver's literature. We can still detect to this day the joy of discovery that Johnson imprinted in her writing of the legends. Whether just arrived or long-time residents, readers will share with Johnson emotions of discovery when seized, through her writings, by the beauty of the surroundings, just as she was 100 years ago. This book is also a portrait of a very young Vancouver with its much loved Stanley Park, its rough-and-tumble gold diggers and its millennium old First Nations. Pauline Johnson's tomb is set in Stanley Park, near Third Beach. In 1922, almost 13 years after her death, the City of Vancouver paid tribute to this magnificent artist and her legacy by erecting a monument in her honour. This 100th anniversary edition combines a mix of archival pictures of Vancouver and photographs by Anne-Marie Comte to provide a sense of where these legends took place and how they are incorporated in the modern city.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This Short History of British Columbia is designed to provide the average reader with a quick but accurate survey of the broad outline of British Columbia's development. The emphasis in this book is on the political developments that shaped the province as it is today, subjects such as the meeting between First Nations and Europeans, immigration and settlement, economic activities like the fur trade, fishing and mining, and the attainment of provincial status. It explains the reasons for the boom that preceded the First World War and the depression that followed, including such issues as prohibition and women's suffrage. The Depression, Social Credit, resource development, and more modern developments complete the account. The idea for this series of short histories first arose in 1969 when the author moved to Nova Scotia. Being new to the province, and knowing very little about it, he went looking for a short history book which would provide an outline of the development of his newly adopted home. There was no such book. In 1973, he moved to Quebec, later to Ontario, and in neither place could he find a short and simple account of the provinces' development. In 1975, he decided to write the sort of book he had been looking for, and what better place to start than with his native province of Manitoba. The result was the Short History of Manitoba. A new edition was published by Midtown in 2019. It is deliberately designed as an inexpensive pamphlet that can be read in a few hours. This book explains BC's early economic, territory and political developments and includes the struggle over borders, railways, tariffs, and schools. It goes on with the boom that preceded the First World War, the depression that followed, and such issues as scandals, prohibition, women's suffrage, and the rise to power of the Social Credit.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this era of overcrowded airplanes, huge cruise ships and post-Covid 'revenge travel,' is it still possible to take a holiday without making reservations and planning every minute of it Michael Kluckner's entertaining stories from 50 years of travel demonstrate that you can still 'wing it,' even in the 2020s. Reflecting on travellers' tales from centuries ago, this book demonstrates both how much and how little has changed when you go on the road.…
