Higgins 1834-1917 was Speaker of the British Columbia Legislature. "I have adhered as closely as possible to descriptions of the peculiarities of speech and mode of life of the men and women who peopled the Pacific Coast forty or fifty years ago. The stories of the occult which comprise several chapters are left to the judgement of wiser heads than mine. I have seen much that puzzled and mystified me and I am still seeking light thus far with indifferent success. The reminiscent stories are all founded upon actual occurrences and in the years to come may be found of value to the student of early events in California and the British Pacific. I have aimed to write history so far as it came under my own observation in an entertaining manner." - Preface. Unmarked with average wear. Binding intact. Front hinge starting.
