Edition originale
Hardcover. Etat : Good. Illustrated by Jefferys, C.W. (illustrateur). First Edition. [8], 9-304 pp. All seven black and white plates present. Publisher's maroon cloth illustrated on front and backstrip. 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. Foxing to edges and last several leaves. No dust jacket as issued. A sound copy of this wonderful presentation of Pacific Coast life in the mid-1800s. Lowther 1538, Wallace p.50, Watters p.311, Tod & Cordingley 167, Smith p.148.; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; British Columbia, California, Occult, History, Pioneers, Fiction.
