Special thanks to my neighbour Lawrie Neish for his assistance in guiding me through the intricacies of the Tandy 1000 personal computer to produce the original manuscript. The following individuals and institutions also provided invaluable assistance: Mary Daisy Day of the Reprographic Section of the Public Records Office in London, Mary Davidson and staff of the Salt Spring Island Archives, staff of the British Columbia Archives and Records Service, staff at the Surveyors General Branch in Victoria, Dan Savard of the Royal British Columbia Museum, Lynn Maranda of the City of Vancouver Museum, and Vera McIver of the Diocese of Victoria Archives.

I thank Karl Siegler and Christy Siegler of Talonbooks for their ongoing support of this project and their assistance, with the valuable editing skills of Ryan Wadsworth, in transforming “a veritable babble of tongues” into a finished manuscript.

A $4,000 short-term writer’s grant from the Canada Council in 1995 allowed me to expand on the initial archival research. This was supplemented by a further $500 from the Annie York Trust Fund.

Last, but in no way least, I thank my wife, Barbara, and our two sons, John and Carl, for their loving support and patience throughout the creation of this book.
