When Jim Spilsbury, B.C's most famous pioneer entrepreneur, teams up with master storyteller and literary craftsman Howard White, the result is a spell-binding romp up and down British Columbia's rugged coast; eighty years of fascinating anecdotes and memories distilled into one book!
"To anyone who grew up on the B.C. coast Spilsbury and White's book reads like a homecoming. The little towns, the fishing and logging camps and above all the incredible people who who inhabit its rocky shores are all revealed. This is the best kind of writing because not only does it ring true it can show someone who hasn't lived there what it was truly like. Spilsbury ends the book with the comment that air travel has helped depopulate the coast with many choosing to leave for the city. I can't help but think it's their loss". -Reviewed by Alan on Goodreads.
