A POUR OF RAIN, Stories From a West Coast Fort, are the personal stories of Helen Meilleur, written when she was 70 years old, and combined with painstaking research and dozens of photographs, they bring forth a remarkable history of this coastal community.
In the small town of Port Simpson in British Columbia, where Helen Meilleur grew up in the 1920s, she witnessed such exciting events as Indian attacks, gold prospecting, missionary efforts, and visits from royalty. She also traveled by steamship to her one-room school on an Indian reservation.
