70 YEARS NEXT TO PARADISE, by Alan Blackwell, is an entertaining look at one man's extraordinary life.
Here is a fascinating autobiography of a British Columbian Pioneer from Ootsa Lake who saw action with the 'Devil's Brigade' in WWII, and later worked as a logger, farmer, guide-outfitter and placer miner. Yet with its descriptions of pioneer life and the events that helped mold the author's character, it accomplishes much more than the average autobiography. In fact, though perhaps as much by accident as design, it also affords readers a rare glimpse into the social, cultural, and economic development of the Ootsa Lake area of British Columbia, Canada.
