Book Description
Excerpt from A Sportsman's Eden It was at the end of the last London season that our little party got together and booked for Montreal by the Dominion Line. The tennis lawns of Montgomeryshire had grown brown and dry, and drier and more parched were the bodies and brains of the husbands and brothers in London, to whom certain Montgomeryshire ladies suggested an autumn in Canada.

Author: H. Holt (Publisher)Hunting for Empire
Author: Greg GillespiePublisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774840382
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Hunting for Empire offers a fresh cultural history of sport and imperialism. Greg Gillespie integrates critical perspectives from cultural studies, literary criticism, and cultural geography to analyze the themes of authorship, sport, science, and nature. In doing so he produces a unique theoretical lens through which to study nineteenth-century British big-game hunting and exploration narratives from the western interior of Rupert's Land. Sharply written and evocatively illustrated, Hunting for Empire will appeal to students and scholars of culture, sport, geography, and history, and to general readers interested in stories of hunting, empire, and the Canadian wilderness.
Beyond the City Limits
Author: R.W. SandwellPublisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774841435
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
The essays in Beyond the City Limits, all published here for the first time, decisively break this silence and challenge traditional readings of B.C. history. In this wide-ranging collection, R.W. Sandwell draws together a distinguished group of contributors who bring expertise, methodologies, and theoretical perspectives taken from social and political history, environmental studies, cultural geography, and anthropology. They discuss such diverse topics as Aboriginal-White settler relations on Vancouver Island, pimping and violence in northern BC, and the triumph of the coddling moth over Okanagan orchardists, to show that a narrow emphasis on resource extraction, capitalist labour relations, and urban society is simply not broad enough to adequately describe those who populated the province's history.
Imperial Vancouver Island

Pages : 839
Book Description
"During the century 1850-1950 Vancouver Island attracted Imperial officers and other Imperials from India, the British Isles, and elsewhere in the Empire. Victoria was the main British port on the north-west Pacific Coast for forty years before the city of Vancouver was founded in 1886 to be the coastal terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway. These two coastal cities were historically and geographically different. The Island joined Canada in 1871 and thirty-five years later the Royal Navy withdrew from Esquimalt, but Island communities did not lose their Imperial character until the 1950s."--P. [4] of cover.
