They developed a friendship over the years during which Chief Wright gradually shared more and more insight into the life and history of his people. In 1935 or 1936, Chief Wright said he planned… to tell Robinson his 'Story' so it could be written down. By late 1936 Robinson had typed 40,000 words and the history of Medeek from its beginnings in the dim ages of mythology had been written down to some ninety years ago. The history is in two parts. Close questioning led to a reasonable assumption that the first part ended some 600 to 700 years ago. This book contains the first part. It deals with the basic myths, with life in the legendary city of Tum- L. - Hama, with a westerly migration that ended on the rocky cliffs of the Kitselas Canyon, some 100 miles up the Skeena River from Prince Rupert. 'Men of Medeek' looks to the east; back to the land of the ancestors. Only once - the raid down the Pacific coast, does the narrative deal with the peoples of the sea-board. 'Wars of Medeek' still remains to be written." - paraphrased from Preface. 93 pages. Black and white photo of each author. Map of Skeena River and central B.C. coast inside back cover. Clean and unmarked with light wear. Binding intact. A quality copy of this precious history.
