Victoria


Book Description

James Douglas described Victoria as a perfect Eden when the Hudson's Bay Company first set up its trade depot in what was then Fort Victoria. A few years later thousands of miners arrived hoping for a gold strike and setting the stage for Victoria's future growth from settlement to city. Over 140 archival photos, accompanied by informative, easy-to-read text, make this book a compelling keepsake for visitors and residents alike.
