Outer Coast Solo: Sea Kayak Adventure Exploring Vancouver Island's Northwest Coast History, Culture & Wilderness | Perfect for Outdoor Enthusiasts & Nature Lovers

This self-published book delivers on the descriptor on the front cover, i.e., " A journey by sea kayak through the history, culture and wilderness of the west coast of Vancouver Island. The author refrains from conjecture. Rather, he seamlessly employs references and correspondence of the period to illustrate the implications and consequences of the interactions between early explorers, traders, missionaries and others with the indigenous peoples populating the west coast of British Columbia's Vancouver Island. The work is heavily researched. It is an enjoyable and very worthwhile read which will be of interest not only to those who are familiar with BC's coastal areas but also to those who are interested in the history of competing interests (such as between Spain and England) and human history in general.
