At the north end of British Columbia's great inland sea is a scatter of islands known as the Discovery Islands. Read, Cortes, Sonora, Maurelle, Hardwicke, Stuart, Redonda and Thurlow Islands are now sparsely populated but once bristled with activity. Jeanette Taylor brings the islands back to life with a colorful pageant that is quintessentially coastal: potlatches, longhouses, stumpranchers, beachcombers, seagoing missionaries, and isolation that brought out the worst in some people and the best in others.
