Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vancouver Island has many faces. It is a place with much to see, from the massive trees in the old-growth forest of the Carmanah Valley and the orcas that frequent the surrounding waters to the rich histories of the First Nations and the early settlers. Attractions such as The Butchart Gardens, a horticultural wonder just north of Victoria, and the miles of sandy beach in Pacific Rim National Park are world renowned, drawing thousands of visitors to Vancouver Island each year. From vibrant urban culture to rugged wilderness, this region has it all, and celebrated photographer Chris Cheadle has captured it beautifully.

Download or read book Edward S. Curtis Above the Medicine Line written by Rodger D. Touchie and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost three decades, Edward Curtis photographed the First Peoples of the North American West and studied their cultures. As part of his fieldwork, he cruised the Pacific Northwest coast and ventured into the lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy, both north and south of the Medicine Line. Alarmed that the traditional Aboriginal ways of life seemed in danger of disappearing forever, Curtis made an incredible effort to capture the daily routines, character and dignity of First Peoples through photography and audio recordings. Against seemingly insurmountable odds and at substantial personal and financial sacrifice, he completed the 20-volume masterpiece The North American Indian, deemed “the most gigantic undertaking in the making of books since the King James edition of the Bible” by the New York Herald. With more than 150 photographs, Edward S. Curtis Above the Medicine Line is both a compelling narrative that sheds new light on the Curtis mystique and a fascinating overview of many of the First Peoples he studied a century ago.

Download or read book Bear Child written by Rodger D. Touchie and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2008-02-05 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The West was a lawless domain when Jerry Potts was born into the Upper Missouri fur trade in 1838. The son of a Scottish father and a Blood mother, he was given the name Bear Child by his Blood tribe for his bravery and tenacity while he was still a teen. In 1874, when the North West Mounted Police first marched west and sat lost and starving near the Canada–U.S. border, it was Potts who led them to shelter. Over the next 22 years he played a critical role in the peaceful settlement of the Canadian West. Bear Child: The Life and Times of Jerry Potts tells the story of this legendary character who personifies the turmoil of the frontier in two countries, the clash of two cultures he could call his own, and the strikingly different approaches of two expanding nations as they encroached upon the land of the buffalo and the nomadic tribes of the western Plains.

Download or read book Portrait of the Pacific Rim written by and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2012-05-15 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portrait of the Pacific Rimis a photographic tour of the awe-inspiring sights and activities on the far edge of Canada. The wild, raw beauty of the Pacific Rim is captured in dozens of colour photographs, as accomplished photographers Ole Hoyer and Wendy Snowdon share some of the gorgeous sights the west coast offers. Pacific Rim National Park reserve, comprised of Long Beach, the Broken Group Islands and the West Coast Trail, is an unparalleled gem. Scraped out of the western edge of Vancouver Island, the landscape ranges from primordial rainforests to acres of sandy beaches, rugged bluffs and snow-capped mountains. Driving there is half the fun, as you travel the Pacific Rim Highway through the forest and along the lakeshores of many provincial parks. See the village of Coombs and its famous market with the goats on its roof, then pass through unforgettable Cathedral Grove. The Pacific Rim is where people come to enjoy outdoor activities such as surfing, hiking, camping, fishing, wildlife watching and kayaking. Take home a tour of Long Beach, the tourist and surf towns of Ucluelet and Tofino, and the quiet cabins along the coast, plus the challenging grind of the moss-covered and often rainy West Coast Trail itself.

Download or read book Old Square-Toes and His Lady written by John David Adams and published by TouchWood Editions. This book was released on 2011 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: August 12, 2003, marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Sir James Douglas. Although he played an integral role in British Columbia's history, in many ways Douglas remains misunderstood and an enigma. He is known for his contradictory qualities -- he was self-serving, racist, a military hawk, sometimes violent and arrogant. Yet he was also extremely community oriented, a humanitarian, brave and a devoted family member. John Adam's bestseller Old Square-Toes and His Lady: The Life of James and Amelia Douglas serves as an important source of information regarding Douglas's public and private lives. As Adams writes, [the term] old square-toes characterizes him as an unbending, stodgy, boring individual, but nothing could be further from the truth. At the pinnacle of his career, Douglas was knighted by order of Queen Victoria. Considering his modest, mixed-race beginnings in South America, his lofty status is, indeed, remarkable. Equally so is the life of his wife, Amelia. She was also of mixed blood, her mother being Cree and her father Irish. But unlike Douglas, who was educated in Scotland, she never left the northern forests until they married. Their ending up as a knight and lady of the British Empire was an unusual achievement. Old Square-Toes discusses the Douglases' diverse experiences of astonishing contrasts, from crossing North America by canoe to touring Europe by train, from Native uprisings to the frantic gold rush. Besides finding glory, they also faced grief in losing seven of their beloved children. This is a story of the adventure, heartbreak, and devotion that lies at the roots of western Canada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated at the mouth of the Connecticut River, Old Saybrook has been home to generations of remarkable women. The women of this quintessentially New England town have faced and overcome overwhelming adversity to leave indelible marks on their town and its history. Katharine Houghton Hepburn, mother of the legendary actress Katharine Hepburn, organized the Hartford Political Equality League to battle for women's right to vote. Anna Louise James fought to become the first black female pharmacist in Connecticut, and she took care of her community, serving them medicine as well as ice cream sodas at James Pharmacy. There is also local restaurateur Steffie Walters, who after emigrating from Austria remained at the helm of the much-loved shore eatery Dock and Dine for eleven years. Historian Tedd Levy chronicles the achievements of these extraordinary women who broke barriers, changed their communities and expanded opportunities for future generations.
