This is the land of the sunset coast. In the beginning there was water everywhere and no land at all. In time, the Great Spirit stretched forth his hand to make land appear. Soon the tops of the mountains showed above the water and they grew and grew till their peaks reached the clouds.The land created by Sagali Tyee held rich natural resources, such as forests, fish, animal life, and a warm climate. Mountains stood sentinel to the north and east. Islands to the west blocked off the ocean and created safe harbors. Soon after this had been done, "Ka-la-na" the first man was made. Ka-la'-na, a good man, obeyed Sagali's commands. In the course of time, his wife gave birth to many sons and daughters, who filled all the land. When the land was full of people, and Ka-la'-na had grown very old, Sagali took him away one day, and the people saw him no more. This is the story of the Squamish people, as told by Barbara Wyss to her grandchildren over many visits.

Now available in paperback, this compelling book is full of behavioural insights and wolf tales that will engage those interested in the state of wild wolves throughout North America.In the winter of 2008¿09, a new wolf family from the Pipestone Valley suddenly appeared in the Bow Valley of Banff National Park, taking up residence alongside a family that had ruled there for over a decade. Within a year, these new wolves had eliminated the Bow Valley wolves and established a dominance that would last for five years in the heart of Canadäs most famous national park.The book chronicles not only the rise of the Pipestones and how they established and maintained dominance in the valley, but also how an increase in mass tourism in Banff led to a decrease in prey density for the Pipestones, which in turn led to the wolves changing their hunting strategies and expanding their summer range. Bloch explains how the Pipestones faced an inevitable fall from the top as pressure from eager wolf watchers increased exponentially in the park at the same time the wolves¿ prey base was shrinking rapidly. Combining these influences with other factors like rail mortality and old age, Bloch and Marriott knew the end was near for the Pipestones.The authors conclude with insights into how wolf and wildlife management in Banff National Park can improve. They outline steps Parks Canada should be taking to deal with the human management problems that are really at the core of the wildlife issues in the park. They also discuss whether we can continue to maintain a balance between ecological integrity and mass tourism in Canadäs flagship park and whether it is already too late. Have we passed the point of no return? And will our Banff wolves live forever after in a wildlife ghetto devoid of true wilderness characteristics?

For decades David J. Forsyth has researched his ancestors' stories, assembling an enormous cache of records and anecdotes. Although history is filled with the tales of the great and the powerful, much less is known about the lives of ordinary people. Forsyth's goal in his research and in the writing of Alice and the Machine Gunner is to address that gap.Alice and the Machine Gunner is a conscientious blend of fact and fiction, a multigenerational account of the Geherty family based on information gleaned from civil, parish, military and personal records, as well as the reminiscences of the late Alice Geherty.The author begins with Peter Geherty, a 19th-century Irish linen weaver, and concludes with the life story of his great-granddaughter Alice, a London-born war bride. In 1919, she emigrated to Hamilton, Ontario, with little hope of ever seeing her parents again.This engrossing work of creative nonfiction brings to life generations of people now departed, as well as providing a vivid portrait of the city of Hamilton, Ontario in the first half of the 209th century. In the process, it opens the door to a deeper understanding of the past.

"Life in the Backwoods" is a book written by Susanna Moodie, a British-born Canadian author, and early settler. The full title of the book is often cited as "Life in the Clearings versus the Bush." The work was first published in 1853. Susanna Moodie and her husband, J.W. Dunbar Moodie, were among the many British immigrants who settled in Canada in the 19th century. "Life in the Backwoods" provides a firsthand account of their experiences as pioneers in the Canadian wilderness. The book is a sequel to her earlier work, "Roughing it in the Bush," which also detailed the challenges and hardships faced by settlers in the untamed landscapes of Upper Canada. In "Life in the Backwoods," Moodie continues to narrate her experiences, offering insights into the difficulties of adapting to the harsh conditions of rural life. The book covers a range of topics, including the natural environment, the challenges of clearing land for cultivation, interactions with indigenous peoples, and the social dynamics of the small communities that formed in the backwoods. Moodie's writing is characterized by its candid and sometimes humorous depiction of the realities of pioneer life. She addresses the difficulties faced by settlers, as well as the beauty and potential of the Canadian wilderness. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on the early days of European settlement in Canada and has become an important piece of Canadian literature. "Life in the Backwoods" contributes not only to the understanding of the challenges faced by early settlers but also to the broader cultural and literary landscape of Canada in the 19th century. The book is often studied for its historical and social insights into the development of Canadian society.

Revised and completely updated, this new edition of the much-loved Traveller's Guide to Historic British Columbia takes travellers, armchair and actual, on a road trip through the province's history. This classic handbook follows main roads and back roads to historic sites, heritage experiences and the narratives of the past. The stories of First Nations, ethnic minorities, and incoming settlers weave a rich tapestry that underlies the region's present. Included in this new edition are First Nations experiences, displays and museums that limn indigenous heritage; details of changing museums and revamped and newly designated heritage sites; and notes of sites and buildings that sadly have slipped away. The author blends quirky tales with evidence of landscape change, tragic timelines with soaring successes, accounts of relatively recent big-city historic buildings with the signs and tales of thousands of years ago. Not a history of British Columbia, but an introduction to the ever-changing ways of experiencing that history in all its variations, this book will live in glove compartments, and on bookshelves as curious travellers happily discover the country of the past.
