Revised and completely updated, this new edition of the much-loved A Traveller's Guide to Historic British Columbia takes travellers, armchair and actual, on a road trip through the province's history.

The stories of First Nations, ethnic minorities, and incoming settlers weave a rich tapestry that underlies the region's present. Included in this new edition are First Nations experiences, displays and museums that limn indigenous heritage; details of changing museums and revamped and newly designated heritage sites; and notes of sites and buildings that sadly have slipped away.
