Seller's Description:
Very Good+ in Very Good-dust jacket. 1550170686. DJ shows some shelf wear, with short tears, creasing light chipping top of spine. 1" tear on back of DJ, upper edge.; A tight solid book. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector.; 11.1 X 8.8 X 1.0 inches; 391 pages; "One of the world's most fertile agricultural regions, the Fraser Valley is in the midst of explosive change from the pressures of technology and urbanization. The author follows the Valley's history from the eighteenth century when Stalo natives were constantly on guard against visits from raiding Yacultas, through the Victorian era, when waves of settlers fought harsh winters, floods and mosquitoes to build a new community in the Valley, to the twentieth century, when the depredations of two world wars and the impact of the automobile changed the Valley forever. Throughout, Cherrington reminds us that beneath the serene, increasingly urbanized surface of the Fraser Valley, there is a turbulent past of Sasquatches and steamships, fur traders and fishermen, priests and prospectors-a recent past that, in an era of freeways and microchips, seems increasingly remote."
