Book Synopsis The Life and Times of Texas Fosbery by : Karen Piffko
Download or read book The Life and Times of Texas Fosbery written by Karen Piffko and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2000 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1940s and 1950s, with the BC Interior ripe for development, Texas Fosbery moved from breaking horses and driving cattle through the Cariboo to driving Caterpillar tractors and breaking roads through the wilds of Kitimat, Kemano, the Nass Valley and the Queen Charlotte Islands. Along the way he moiled for gold in the Yukon, worked at Hell's Gate for the Fisheries Commission and flew small planes to isolated northern lakes. Tex lived his life to the full in a time and place where there were fewer restrictions and supports than there are today. When they got into scrapes, Tex and his brother Tony had to find their own way out. Admittedly "the youngest hobos ever" during the Great Depression, their rough-and-ready beginnings prepared them for years of keeping heavy equipment running "with French safes and haywire," as well as surviving the freaks of weather and machinery that made bush flying in BC a hazardous occupation. Tex's reminiscences are a fascinating and often humorous story of the early years of the British Columbia Interior.
Book Synopsis Looking Back at the Cariboo-Chilcotin with Irene Stangoe by : Irene Stangoe
Download or read book Looking Back at the Cariboo-Chilcotin with Irene Stangoe written by Irene Stangoe and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 1997 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a complement to her popular book Cariboo-Chilcotin: Pioneer People and Places, Irene Stangoe has crafted a second collection of stories about the BC Interior's pioneers and the trails they blazed. In 26 separate tales she introduces a mosaic of personalities and events that spans 120 years. Stangoe fondly recalls the Indian Girls' Pipe Band, the world-famous MacKinnon sisters, the amazing ice-fishing secrets of Lac la Hache and more. Irene Stangoe has been "looking back" at the Cariboo-Chilcotin for almost half a century. Originally drawn to the region from her Burnaby-New Westminster roots in 1950, when she and her husband, Clive, bought the Williams Lake Tribune, Irene filled in as reporter, community editor, columnist, advertising salesperson and just about anywhere else she was needed until the newspaper was sold in 1973. In 1975, unable to fully retire, Irene established her "Looking Back" column at the Tribune and soon gained recognition as one of the most readable history writers in the weekly newspaper field. Between 1986 and 1991, she was awarded a first place and two seconds in the annual Best Historical Writing Competition.

Book Synopsis A Voice of Her Own by : Thelma Poirier
Download or read book A Voice of Her Own written by Thelma Poirier and published by University of Calgary Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this book, the editors have brought to light a little-discussed aspect of ranching: the valuable contributions of women in an industry traditionally thought of as the domain of men. To them, the ranch means many things; it is a business, a home, and a place to raise their children. In their own words, they share their experiences, their successes, and their hardships, and clearly demonstrate the important role women have played, and continue to play, in the history and economy of the ranching industry in Canada.
