Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir James Douglas and British Columbia N preparing this study of the life and times of Sir James I Douglas, an attempt has been made to base the narrative as far as possible on original sources. Where these have not been available, recourse to the standard works on the history of British Columbia has been necessary. The Archives of British Columbia at Victoria, bc, have been a veritable mine of information regarding Douglas, and sincere thanks are extended to Messrs. Forsyth and Hosie, the former and present archivists, and to Miss Russell and Mrs. Cree of the Archives staff for their untiring assistance. Material has also been gathered from other public and private libraries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
