Squamish: The Shining Valley

Library Item

This beautifully illustrated book is the first ever to be published about Squamish, the 'outdoor recreation capital of Canada'. It portrays three colourful photographic essays of the natural landscape and the people, and a highly readable and entertaining history of Squamish which traces the story of the Valley through the shaping of the land in the ice ages, the arrival of the first people, the settlers and the great days of railroading and logging. The growth of modern-day Squamish is covered, as are profiles of some of the most influential people and important events, leading to the introduction of the Royal Hudson passenger train in 1975, when the glorious age of steam returned to Squamish.
