"This story is about the lifestyle and experiences of typical boys who lived in the Valley during two decades ending when the 1939 War intervened. Forestry is my profession. I am compelled to discuss this topic for two reasons. Trees underpin the economy of B.C. Of greater significance trees take in carbon dioxide a poison to humans and their animals and give off oxygen essential to sustaining - not just economic benefits - but healthy people. Unhappily the Valley of my youth has air quality that verges on poison. Hopefully this book will awaken the concern of Valley residents and their governmental representatives. 120 IV pages. Two maps.

The Big M : The Frank Mahovlich Story

And so began a Hall of Fame career, spanning twenty-one years in the NHL and WHA, that saw six Stanley Cups, the end of the six team era, and a Senate appointment. Relies upon 30 interviews with the Big M's peers. An insightful portrayal of a hockey legend, father and mentor. A very attractively illustrated and unmarked volume with very light wear. Book

Maine Canada Border
PAPERS RELATIVE TO THE SPECIAL MISSION OF LORD ASHBURTON TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN 1842
London: T.R. Harrison 1843. 264pp. Dbd. Loosely stitched. Manuscript alternate page numbers very faint occasional foxing but overall a clean and crisp copy. A Parliamentary printing of documents relating to the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 negotiated principally by Daniel Webster and Lord Ashburton which resolved several boundary disputes between the United States and Canada. Foremost it determined the border between Maine and New Brunswick which had been the subject of growing local confrontations known informally as the Aroostook War. The treaty also agreed on crimes for which extradition was possible and notably neglected to include flight from slavery on that list. The documents contain correspondence between Webster and Asburton on both of those subjects as well as several letters discussing the Caroline affair in which a group of agitators for Canadian independence attacked an American steamboat on the Niagara River and sent it ablaze over the Falls in 1837.
