5-0 out of 5 stars Presents the reader with a kind of "window in time"
Edmund Augustus Porcher was the captain of a Royal Navy vessel serving an Esquimalt-based tour of duty on Vancouver Island. Porcher was also a watercolor artist who made an impressive array of sensitive and skillfully executed paintings of what he saw. A Tour Of Duty In The Pacific Northwest: E. A. Porcher and H.M.S. Sparrowhawk, 1865-1868 is an impressive and uniquely informative work drawn from the ship's record and Captain Porcher's commentaries, enhanced with his superb paintings and illustrations presenting the reader with a kind of "window in time" to understand and feel what it was like in those times and places along Canada's Pacific coasts, as well as the complex and multifaceted roles and functions of a British war vessel. A Tour Of Duty In The Pacific Northwest is a unique and highly recommended contribution that will be greatly appreciated by students of maritime, and Canadian nineteenth century history. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Struggles and Joys of a Pioneer family
Read it at once like a novel or in chapters like a series of vignettes, this delightful book features difficulties facing a farm family, and rejoices at their victories and grieves over their sorrows and defeats. Enjoy the mischievous pranks of a bunch of farm kids who invented ways to make their hard workmore fun, and how their jokes sometimes turned into expensive lessons when things went awry.The intense desire for education that drove these farm boys to make enormous sacrifices in order to have an opportunity to achieve their goals is inspiring.This is a great book for young folks who are wrestling with lifes tough questions, and how faith, persistance and determination can lead to fulfilment of dreams. ...

Trails Of A Wilderness Wanderer are true stories from the West blending the autobiography of an outdoorsman with accounts of living in the wild places of the Rockies, following old trails and meeting hunters and explorers. An absorbing outdoorsman's diary filled with nature and observations of the wild.

5-0 out of 5 stars Outstanding storyteller of the Canadian Frontier
Mr. Russell takes you back to the early days when only Indians and bearsroamed the land, through his youth and adulthood as an outdoorsman in thewilds of early Canada.He tells of living a life we can only dream of now. The people he writes of were real and made Canada what it is today.Ihave reread this book almost yearly since it came out in 1971. You willfeel as if you have walked his trails with him and love the life he led.An excellent gift for the city-bound outdoorsman!!! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Drawn from years of careful research
Hammerstone: A Biography Of Hornby Island is an engaging history of a small island off the western coast of Canada and drawn from years of careful research. Author Olivia Fletcher begins the story of her island from its molten birth in the South Pacific down to the present day. Fletcher guides the reader through millions of years of dramatic physical transformation on an island that once was home to dinosaurs and carnivorous snails, Native Americans and European immigrants. Hammerstone is a unique "biography" of an island that could well serve as a template for others to emulate for their parts of the world what Olivia Fletcher has done for hers. Very highly recommended. ... Read more
