His daughter Marie Weeden was determined to finish his work and approached Dr.Ralph Maud (SFU) and Dr. Brent Galloway (linguist) to help her transcribe the many tapes of oral history that Wells had accumulated while interviewing his native friends. Wells had grown up on a farm in the valley of the Chilliwack River and made friends with the native people of the area.

This book contains many of these interviews along with photos, maps and drawings. .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
