note: At the present time British Columbia is the fastest growing and fastest expanding province in Canada. Primarily a lumbering, fishing and mining region, it was projected into a wide variety of industrial activity by the necessities of war. The province is now exploiting its war-time manufacturing achievements and has entered an era of expansion that has made it a substantial prop in Canada's economy. The author tells the story of the Pacific Coast province of Canada from the earliest days of fur trading to the present, with special emphasis on the new industrial prominence that is being achieved. Everything concerning British Columbia is described, from the geography and history to social welfare and recreation. Industries, new and old, ports and shipping, government and public works, legends and the characteristics of the people are all included. The most important statistics are grouped at the end for easy reference. The book will be invaluable to all tourists in Canada.
