First invaders : the literary origins of British Columbia

Book

First invaders : the literary origins of British Columbia / Alan Twigg.

Twigg, Alan, 1952- (Author).

Summary:

The names Cook and Quadra ring a bell for most of us, as do Bering and Vancouver, but how much do we know about the Greek-born navigator, Juan de Fuca or the Machiavelli of the maritime fur trade, John Meares? British Columbia’s earliest authors and explorers are skillfully introduced, for the first time collectively, by Alan Twigg. This is a compelling account of the characters, events and intrigues that comprised British Columbia’s earliest literary history prior to 1800. -- Amazon
