BLYTH, GLADYS YOUNG - Salmon Canneries British Columbia North Coast
Lantzville, BC: Oolichan Books, 1991. First Edition. Softcover. ISBN: 0889821038. Card covers show light shelf wear.; A bright, solid book.; B&W Illustrations; 180 pages; Once, the north coast of British Columbia was dotted with cannery villages. Now only a few plants remain. In Gladys Young Blyth's new history of the northern salmon canning industry, many remarkable photographs- of the canneries, the fish boats, the workers- provide glimpses of by gone days in an industry that has been of vital significance to the development of the province. For each of the thirty-eight canneries on the Nass and Skeena Rivers the author gives a short history, the location, and a physical description of the plant. Her chronology of early- day to present methods of fishing and processing provides the reader with a clear understanding of how the industry functioned. Who were the cannery workers? How did they live in those isolated locations on the B.C. north coast? These and other questions are answered in this fascinating pictorial history.. Very Good+ .
