Rain people the story of Ocean Falls by Bruce Ramsey, Roland Neave

Authored by Bruce Ramsey and edited by Roland Neave, Rain People: The Story of Ocean Falls chronicles the rise and fall of the isolated, company-owned pulp and paper mill town nestled in the rugged coastal fjords of British Columbia. The book traces the community's mid-century heyday as a thriving industrial enclave accessible only by boat or plane, powered by torrential local rainfall and sustained by a tight-knit working-class population. Through archival photographs and personal accounts, the text details the sudden, devastating corporate closure that transformed a bustling boomtown into a damp ghost town. A keen insight drawn from the work is how corporate paternalism created a profound psychological vulnerability in remote industrial outposts; when distant executives pulled the plug on the mill, residents discovered that their entire social fabric, municipal infrastructure, and sense of identity had been built on foundation stones owned entirely by a corporation.

Ralph Edwards of Lonesome Lake by Ralph A. Edwards, Ed Gould

Often called The Crusoe of Lonesome Lake, because of a best-selling book written by the American journalist Leland Stowe, Edwards has gone on to live at least one more life and reveals himself to be a pioneer of a breed that no longer exists. Best known for his almost single-handed rescue of the trumpeter swans from extinction in North America, Edwards now related in his own words other aspects of his long, varied life, including experience with his missionary parents in India, as a telegraph operator under fire in World War I and his eventual return to Lonesome Lake.
