Provides an engaging, compelling and thoroughly researched history of the Port, complete with skullduggery, backroom deals, political hot air and conniving, irrational exuberance, the boom and bust cycles of natural resource production and agricultural exports, and hard-won dreams, all painted on a backdrop of the B.C. wilderness from the earliest explorers, to Canada as an infant nation during the early railway mania, and on up to the present day. This is the book that will finally prove that Canadian history is anything but boring!" - front flap.
