1991215j2323USA: University of Utah Press. Very Good. 1991. First Edition. Paperback. 0774805684 . "In 1871 R.M. Rylatt a former sergeant of His Majesty's Royal Engineers embarked on a new career as an agent of the Canadian Pacific Railroad survey searching for a route that would join British Columbia to the rest of Canada. He kept notes of his two years of expeditionary work which he later revised and expanded adding numerous colour sketches and line drawings. His journal provides a valuable first-hand account of the race to mount a transcontinental railway across the largely unmapped territory. It is also a great adventure story full of the trials and tribulations that were so much a part of every day existence. Readers will be captivated by Rylatt's jaunty but dangerous adventures told with sly humour and a canny eye for details." - back cover. 246 page paperback book. Index. Colour illustrations.

1979738c9501British Columbia: Nu-Yum-Balees Society 1979. Book. Good. Paperback. First Printing. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 97 pages. Illustrated in black and white. "I was asked to do a booklet for the opening of the Cape Mudge Museum pertaining to the improsonments and the confiscation of our masks coppers etc. For many years I have had in my possession tape recordings of the imprisonments and other historical data. It was with this information and other information acquired through research that the booklet was started. We soon realized that a booklet would not be sufficient to tell our history and it had to be told in order to show why our Ba-sah potlatch was outlawed. This book therefore is just a memorial to those who gave so much of themselves in preserving our history before the coming of the white man and what happened after their arrival." - from introduction.
