Higgins 1834-1917 was Speaker of the British Columbia Legislature. "I have adhered as closely as possible to descriptions of the peculiarities of speech and mode of life of the men and women who peopled the Pacific Coast forty or fifty years ago. The stories of the occult which comprise several chapters are left to the judgement of wiser heads than mine. I have seen much that puzzled and mystified me and I am still seeking light thus far with indifferent success. The reminiscent stories are all founded upon actual occurrences and in the years to come may be found of value to the student of early events in California and the British Pacific. I have aimed to write history so far as it came under my own observation in an entertaining manner." - Preface. Unmarked with average wear. Binding intact. Front hinge starting.

Farwell Books Alameda CA label on rear pastedown w/ bookplate as well. First edition stated with 10th printing jacket price $ 3.75 signed of this memoir about the author’s experiences directly following her bestselling “Egg and I” set against the backdrop of her yearlong confinement in the Firland Sanatorium for tuberculosis now the city of Shoreline and still remains “one of a tiny handful of first-person accounts of life in a tuberculosis sanatorium before the era of penicillin.” The regimen was strenuous and at first demanded total bedrest with doctor’s orders to lie silently no talking writing or reading for weeks on end as the coughed up sputum was tested on a daily basis. Eventually as Firland patients gained strength they were given more and more activities as rewards until they were allowed by medical authorities for discharge. The poignant and often humorous work touches on her coping with being separated from her two girls her immediate family and how she survived the grim years during the Great Depression.
