Ltd.InStock/Ebooks/<p>In a follow-up to his well-received <em>Voices of British Columbia</em>, Robert Budd returns with more captivating tales of the provinces pioneering past in the very words of the people who lived them.</p><p>Between 1959 and 1966, the late CBC Radio journalist Imbert Orchard travelled across British Columbia with recording engineer Ian Stephen, conducting interviews with some of the provinces most remarkable and inspiring pioneers. The resulting collection contained 998 conversations totalling 2,700 hours of material-one of the largest oral history collections in the world and a precious treasury of western heritage.</p><p>In <em>Echoes of British Columbia</em>, author Budd skilfully renders some of the most entertaining and astonishing accounts from the Orchard collection into entrancing prose. There are tales about rawhiding to the Klondike; being rescued by the legendary Chief Capoose; of riding and racing horses standing up; of homesteading, birth and murder. Youll meet Pattie Halsam, who grew up at remote Cape Beale Lighthouse and travelled to Victoria by canoe. Youll laugh and cry with Bob Gamman as he transports a frozen corpse via wicker laundry basket and tugboat. Youll thrill to Thomas Bullmans eyewitness account of the siege of the murderous McLean Gangs cabin in Douglas Lake. Combining text, archival photographs and original sound recordings on three CDs, this collection brings the reader (and listener) in intimate contact with British Columbias past, deepening our understanding of the characters and events that shaped the province.</p>...4128389Echoes of British Columbia390542https://www.gandhi.com.mx/echoes-of-british-columbia-9781550176803/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2943988/7c0c9581-132a-4b51-9890-9ab2c858a4e4.jpg?v=638384664282400000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20149781550176803_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9781550176803_<p>In a follow-up to his well-received <em>Voices of British Columbia</em>, Robert Budd returns with more captivating tales of the provinces pioneering past in the very words of the people who lived them.</p><p>Between 1959 and 1966, the late CBC Radio journalist Imbert Orchard travelled across British Columbia with recording engineer Ian Stephen, conducting interviews with some of the provinces most remarkable and inspiring pioneers.
