Covers Kamloops and the following localities and areas in Thompson- Nicola Regional District: Lytton, Spences Bridge, Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Walhachin, Savona, Monte Creek, Pritchard, Chase, Heffley Creek, Barriere, Clearwater, Birch Island, and North Thompson. From Chase to Lytton and from Blue River to Kamloops, the communities of the Thomson Valley are linked by a magnificent river. But they are also linked by a common past that is largely overlooked in the general histories of British Columbia. This collection of new writing explores the neglected post-settlement history shared by the communities of the Thompson Valley. Supporting the text are seventy-two photographs - many published for the first time.
