Leonard, Frank
A Thousand Blunders: The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and Northern British Columbia
Vancouver Canada: UBC Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. 0774805323 . "The GTP ran from Winnipeg via Edmonton and the Yellowhead Pass to Prince Rupert and was built to challenge the primacy of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The 1500-km British Columbia line built at great cost over some of the country's most rugged terrain was completed in 1914 but traffic fell far short of company expectations and this contributed to the collapse of the GTP in 1919. This failure is examined here with focus on the problems of the BC line. Leonard argues that 'a thousand blunders' by company managers were primarily responsible for one of the greatest failures in Canadian entrepreneurial history. Richly detailed and thoroughly documented this study makes an important contribution to the fields of railway and business history as well as to the study of the history of northern British Columbia." - half-title. Book clean bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Very light wear to dust jacket which is sunned at backstrip and now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. pp. x 344. Extensive footnotes bibliography and index. Numerous maps tables and black and white illustraitons.

Indian Families of the Northwest Coast - The Impact of Change
Chicago: The University of Chicago Press. Good in Fair dust jacket. 1970. First Edition. Hardcover. 0226476863 . "How does the rapidly changing modern world affect a large band of Salish Indians living on the east coast of Vancouver Island A prosperous White town has grown up on the edge of their reserve yet the Indians cling to many of their old ways of living their old customs and ceremonies. There is very little integration with the life of the town. In this field study Claudia Lewis probes beneath the surface of the drinking and the disordered homes to find basic patterns of family and interpersonal life. She lived with the Indians and gathered field material for this book during several summers with a last return visit in 1968.The 'Camas' Indians of today are in a situation not unlike that of minority groups all over the world who are searching for their identity." - dust jacket. 224 pages.
