'For the people who live on the Sunshine Coast, and for the people who are thinking about coming here, this book is invaluable.'-"Going Coastal Magazine" Every year, the Sunshine Coast attracts thousands of visitors to the waterfront resorts, fishing lodges and beaches between Howe Sound and the spectacular Princess Louisa Inlet. But this rugged coastline was a different world for the few courageous pioneers who settled in the area and carved out a living on the mountains that rise from the deep inlets. Newly revised and updated, "Bright Seas, Pioneer Spirits" tells the stories of the homesteaders, loggers, prospectors and fishermen who made their homes on this treacherous edge of the continent north and west of Vancouver. These folk came with nothing in their pockets and founded logging empires, shingle mills and sawmills, fish canneries, a glue plant and even a well-known jam factory. Many of the original names have endured-Gibson, Roberts, Whitaker, Donley, Silvey and Griffiths-as a reminder that their pioneering spirits still ride the bright seas of the Sunshine Coast today.
