In an era when picture postcards became a unique new way to "call home," they quickly established a role in enticing an ongoing parade of tourists to British Columbia. This book features an impressive collection of black-and-white lithograph images that were sold to the public in the early twentieth century. Documenting life in British Columbia during this period of time, each image has a story to tell. Collectively they define the state of affairs in B.C. a century ago. The book is divided into geographic regions, with an introductory article and map for each. Fred Thirkell and Bob Scullion's previous book of postcard images, Postcards From the Past (1996), won a City of Vancouver Heritage Award.

Award-winning popular historians Fred Thirkell and Bob Scullion have assembled an all-new collection of postcard views capturing different communities around British Columbia as they appeared at the turn of the 20th century. Collectively defining the state of affairs in BC a century ago, each one of these images has a story to tell. Once a thriving cannery town, Port Essington is now long gone, abandoned and then destroyed by forest fires. They may have mined millions of dollars in gold at Stout's Gulch, but you'll have trouble finding it on any maps today. Even Kelowna's main street is unrecognizable. With each passing year, it becomes more difficult to find rare and unusual black-and-white printed postcards from this period. Many of the ones Thirkell and Scullion have included in "Greetings from British Columbia" are themselves rare, borrowed from the collection of a pre-eminent postcard dealer without whose cooperation this new collection would not have been possible.

When the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) built through the Rockies in 1884 it laid track straight down the west slope of Kicking Horse Pass. Dropping 1,140 feet in 7.1 railway miles, this section of railway was a construction worker’s horror and a railroader’s nightmare that soon became known as the Big Hill. Intended to be temporary, the 4.5 percent grade, more than 3 miles long, saw use for 25 years until completion of the Spiral Tunnels in 1909. The two tunnels – unique in North America – loop over themselves, doubling the length of track and halving the grade. Incorporating more than 100 photographs, The Spiral Tunnels and the Big Hill – An Illustrated Railway History describes the construction of the CPR and recounts the tales of daring, defiance, and disaster on the second-steepest mainline track ever operated in North America. Maps and diagrams reveal how the Spiral Tunnels create a safer grade for trains. The text provides up-to-date descriptions of today’s locomotives and explains the many challenges of operating trains on mountain grades. A Canadian bestseller for three decades, this revised edition will be informative reading for railfans, for travellers in the Rockies, and for those with an interest in Canadian history.
