From the Back Cover:
James Douglas described Victoria as a perfect - Eden when the Hudson's Bay Company first set up its trade depot in what was then Fort Victoria. A few years later over 30,000 miners arrived hoping to find their own Eden in a rich gold strike setting the stage for the growth of this tiny settlement to the vibrant, exciting city that Victoria is today. Over 140 archival photographs, accompanied by an informative, easy to read text, make this book a compelling visual keepsake for visitors and residents alike.
