"At a lonely channel-end on the deeply-cut mountainous North Pacific Coast of North America the Indians had a settlement of ancient descent they called Bella Coola. In the summer of 1793 they were much in doubt as to what to make of two fascinating yet disturbing white strangers. These were Captain George Vancouver, R. N. and Alexander Mackenzie, explorers. They were encountered separately, one having come in a huge 'canoe' and other arduously by land. They unwittingly made of Bella Coola that year a memorable near meeting place. Two generations later the white men who followed the first explorers were surveying at Bella Coola to see if the pass and harbour would make a terminus of Canada's first Atlantic-to-Pacific railway. Norwegian colonists came to settle and stay in what looked so like their own familiar fjord country.".

Condición: Very Good+. Bella Coola. Signed by the author Cliff Kopas. A Study of Effort and Achievement.-Other than signature wit Best Wishes, this is an unmarked copy- DJ shows some wear with little tears-" In what has been called "regional history of the best kind," "Bella Coola" blends anecdote, legend, fact and a cast of vibrant characters into a highly readable account of a remote but very special place". . Google Books-" The text on the book jacket calls it 'a romantic history of a beautiful corner of British Columbia, which does not quite do it justice because 'romantic' and 'history' can be read in various ways. The book is neither a historical narrative nor is it trying to paint life in the Bella Coola Valley as romantic. Instead, the author weaves a story about the waves of people who have found that coastal valley and made it their home. He introduces us to the life of the first inhabitants by letting them speak to us directly in conversational style about their life, their rituals and honor system, about intertribal politics and warfare. We meet 'White Sam', an orphaned white boy stranded after a storm, then, adopted by a Chief and becoming part of the tribe. We hear the voices and the bartering of fur traders, of the hordes of gold-seeking adventurers, followed by road and railway surveyors, learn first hand of the devastation of smallpox on the indigenous population and of a doomed uprising. Missionaries add their voices too, but we also hear those to whom this was all a bit of a puzzle. Then we make the acquaintance of the latest arrivals, a colony of Norwegian settlers who came at the end of the 19th century and lastly, the building of a daring road out of the valley on the high Chilcotin Plateau spearheaded by the people of the Bella Coola Valley to break the isolation at the end of a long fjord. Cliff Kopas' writing brings the legends and history of that remote remove valley to life as if in a docudrama or a historical novel, and the characters and events in it linger on long after finishing this book."-Sedgewick.
