About This Item
2021 hardcover as pictured. This is a short history of the city of Vancouver, British Columbia from before the arrival of the first European explorers to the present day. Beginning with the early habitation by the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations, the book describes the emergence of a waterfront sawmill town, the flourishing speakeasies and brothels of the 1920s, the years of poverty and protest during the Dirty Thirties, the development of different ethnic communities, the long post-war boom and the city's current status as a real-estate investment choice for the global super-rich. Includes extensive notes and index. Binding is firm. Boards are clean with minimal shelf wear. Endpapers and text are clean and unmarked. Dust jacket is complete and shows only slight shelf wear. Your purchase helps support our small village library. s OF3
