note: THE NICOLA VALLEY IN REVIEW Henry Stand ley C leas by THE NICOLA VALLEY IN REVIEW IJnHoducUon A great deal of thanks go to Mr. H. S. Cleasby, who, by his vivid memory and keeping of the records of the past, made this booklet possible. The free and easy style of the writer will be greatly appreciated by the readers, and the booklet will be a memento to those who have a stake in the past of the Nicola Valley.
