2008365 pages. Index. Select bibliography. Footnotes. Numerous reproductions of archival black and white photos. Signed by author upon title page. "Set against a background of rapid social and economic change, this work examines the years 1899 to 1929. This era saw the demise of the fur seal trade, the coming of scheduled steamships and the development of commercial whaling, logging and fishing. Zealous missionaries radically altered the lives of native people, while the upstart settlement called Tofino gradually eclipsed nearby Clayoquot as the dominant community in the area." - from dust jacket. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart cover. An excellent copy. Book
